Analytical reading involves questioning the article to be sure you understand it and to determine whether it is applicable to your practice.Such reading asks these questions: "What is this about as a whole? Is it true in whole or in part? Does it matter to my practice?" A literature review is performed by searching indexes and databases,and reading more than one article.Formulating a searchable question involves creating a PICO-type statement to guide a search of the literature.The nurse would determine whether the article is a research report by looking for the individual parts of the article to see if they were present in the form of research (e.g.,title,problem,hypothesis,purpose,methods,data,data analysis,conclusions).
