conducted in the last 5 years on the patient safety problem you identified in Week 1.
By Day 3
Post the following:
For the literature search, describe the following in your post:
The databases, search engines, and search terms you used in your literature search
The number of research articles you found on your patient safety problem that were published in the last year
The challenges you encountered locating research articles and how you overcame them
Who you would go to for help in your work setting if you needed help with a literature search
Note: Post a three paragraph (at least 250–350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing
practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames.
