Week 5 Collaboration Cafe: Critique of Scholarly Literature
Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the Collaboration Café. Contact your course faculty if
you have questions.
General Instructions
Advanced practice nurses must be equipped to critique scholarly literature and discern its value for application to
practice. Select one current clinical practice guideline (CPG) related to your PICOT question. If a relevant CPG does
not exist, choose a CPG related to another topic. Appraise the CPG using the Rapid Critical Appraisal Questions to
Ask of Evidence-Based Guidelines (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023, Box 8.4). Summarize your appraisal of the
CPG in your own words.

1. Credibility
1. Who developed the CPG?
2. Who funded the CPG?
3. Has the CPG been peer-reviewed?
2. Comprehensiveness

2. Was a current, comprehensive literature review included?
3. Were all important options considered?
4. Is the strength of evidence noted for each recommendation?
3. Applicability and generalizability:
1. Is the intent of use provided?
2. Are the recommendations clinically relevant?
3. Are the recommendations relevant to the reader’s population?
