The focus this week is to research the internal evidence that supports the intervention formulated in the Week 1 PICOT question. The internal evidence may include clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), best practices from professional and federal organizations, quality improvement projects, clinical expertise, practice data, etc. that are intended to optimize patient care, improve outcomes, and reduce costs.

Locate a specific practice guideline or best practice that supports the intervention formulated in the Week 1 PICOT question and post the link to the practice guideline.
Summarize why the selected practice guideline supports the chosen intervention.
