Week 2

CNA227 – Compare and contrast 2 infectious diseases…
Try searching for each disease in MD Consult, Nursing Consult or DynaMed to find information from online reference books, journal articles, practice guidelines, etc.

Week 3

CNA116 - Review 3 journal articles on a topic...
Trying to find journal articles on a topic you don't know much about is hard.  Try doing a little background reading first - check your lecture notes, set text and recommended reading list for any information about the topic.  This will help you to "unpack" what the question is really asking you about.  When you know more about the issues that relate to the topic, you will think of better keywords to use in your search for articles.  When you're ready to search for articles, try the CINAHL database. 

Look under the Journals and Referencing tabs on this guide for information on peer reviewed journals and how to reference an article.
