Completing this assessment will prepare you for real-world application of evidence-based practices, making you an integral part of advancing healthcare outcomes in your future career. 
Instructions:

Draft a Proposal: Write a concise proposal (1-2 pages) addressing the following: 

Describe the clinical problem. 
Summarize the evidence identified from each source.
