4. Determine an evidence-based quantitative article from the search that contains an evidence-based randomized control trial.
5. Summarize the case study selected.
6. Describe the study approach, sample size, and population studied.
7. Apply the evidence from this review to your practice specifically in your overview.
8. Evaluate the outcomes, identifying the validity and reliability.
9. Discuss if the study contained any bias.
