This assessment requires you to explore the literature to find 2 research articles that are examples of 2 different levels on the levels of evidence hierarchy. The pyramid that illustrates the levels of hierarchy is on page 13 in your textbook. LoBiondo-Wood& Haber 2018 Nursing Research: Methods and Critical Appraisal for Evidence-Based Practice isbn*978-0323431316 Mosby, 2018,9th edition  Please read about the levels of evidence to ensure you understand them before selecting your articles. Objectives Understand the research levels of evidence hierarchy (pyramid) Demonstrate effective data base search strategies Identify studies by level of evidence Do not have to have one qualitative and on quantitative. You can choose any 2 articles as long as they meet the requirement of 2 different levels and they have not been used previously during this course
