Instructions and Rubric for Evidence Summary Table

The goal of this assignment is to help guide the nursing and CNL interventions sections in your paper. So choose
your articles carefully in that they look at factors that could be modified through nursing interventions.
Develop a table briefly summarizing the evidence in the articles as indicated below (an example has been included).
Include a reference list in APA format for the articles used in the table
