Step 1: Understanding Research — NURS FPX 4025 Assessment 1

The first step in becoming evidence-based practitioners is knowing how to analyze research critically. NURS FPX 4025 Assessment 1: Analyzing a Research Paper introduces students to the core concepts of research evaluation, such as methodology, sample size, data analysis, ethical approval, and credibility of findings.

In this assessment, learners select a peer-reviewed article relevant to nursing and analyze whether the research design and outcomes are applicable to clinical practice. The task also involves identifying strengths and limitations of the study, which helps build a strong foundation for making informed decisions in future clinical scenarios.
