PICOT Question

Among patients admitted in the hospital (P), how effective is providing a safe hospital environment (I) as compared to conducting standardized assessments (C) in preventing falls (O) within the period of stay in the hospital (T)?

Literature Review

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

  1. Title page
  2. Introduction section
  3. A comparison of research questions
  4. A comparison of sample populations
  5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
  6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

— such as those used to monitor traffic and weather conditions — are examples of industrial

and enterprise IoT devices. Other technologies, including smart air conditioning, smart

thermostats, smart lighting and smart security, span home, enterprise and industrial

uses.”1 An IoT device can be identified by many fields including category, Identifier, …

1- (2.5 mark) Describe the IoT data type, IoTdevice, using Java classes. Make sure

to use Java inheritance, an interface, and an abstract class.

Write a short paragraph:

Discuss Technology as related to Animation. What technologies are new to you? Do you know of any others that were not discussed that you find interesting? Do you think animation will start to become strictly digital? What impact will Virtual Reality and Reality Modeling have on Animation? As technology makes animating easier and easier, will we lose all concept of proper technique because the technology just does it for us? Of course there will still be content creation and imagination but maybe the skill of animating would be lost? Thoughts?
