A first-year nursing student needs to write a paper on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing home residents. What search strategy does the faculty recommend to the student?
a. Have the medical librarian search for you.
b. Look the topic up in your textbook.
c. Start your search with Google or Bing.
d. Use CINAHL to search for your topic.
D
Information-literate professionals will know (or learn) how to use databases to search topics. CINAHL is a database that provides the most comprehensive coverage of nursing literature. The student will be able to combine terms to search for UTIs in nursing home residents. Using the librarian as a resource to assist is a good idea, but if the librarian does the search, the student will not learn this vital skill. The student should not start with lay sites such as Google. The textbook will have some information on UTIs and may include a section that includes nursing home residents, but for comprehensive data, the student will need to do a database search.
