The CINAHL database provides an easy access for thousands of journals and articles in the field of nursing and allied health. Moreover, the CINAHL contains references to nursing journal articles from the United States, UK, and other countries. A search for articles and journals are carried out using the keywords and the process can bring out hundreds journal articles. Objective of the paper is to investigate the search strategy for the journal articles in the CINAHL database using the relevant keywords. (Mckibbon. & Marks, 1998).
In the search, the paper uses ProQuest Interface for the Nursing and Allied Health sources. The keywords used to carry out the search are as follows:
Hourly Nursing Rounds
Reduce Falls,
Pressure Ulcers, and Call Light Use, and Patient Satisfaction
When each of these keywords is typed in the CINAHL box, the CINAHL database delivers tremendous results. When the Hourly Nursing Rounds key words are typed in the CINAHL box, the database delivers 1,033 results. (Lawrence, 2007).
1B. First strategy to narrow the search is to use the left column of the CINAHL interface to refine the search. The paper can limit the search using the publication date, which can be narrowed between 2000 and 2015. The benefit of this approach is to identify the recent articles published within the specific date. The shortcoming of the approach is that the researcher may be unable to have access to wider publication. The use of Search with and/or Search with OR can also be used to narrow the search results. However, the use of AND for a search can assist in broadening the search results. (Royal College of Nursing, 2013).

This paper uses the statistical test using quantitative technique to carry out the critical appraisal of the "Hourly nursing rounding help reduce fall, pressure ulcer, call light use and contribute to rise in patient satisfaction base of evidence base practice." (Lowe, & Hodgson, 2012 p 35). The paper will use the descriptive statistics to describe the basic features of the collected data and summarize the data in a manageable form. Moreover, the study uses the weighted mean, Confidence intervals and P- values as statistical values to carry out the critical appraisal for the research topic. The paper also uses the inferential statistics to reach the research conclusion.

The planning, communication and support are the key elements "of a successful implementation plan." (Tucker, Bieber, Attlesey-Pries et al. 2012 p 18). A planning starts from developing a relationship between the stakeholders and project staff. The strategy is by identifying the individual tasks…
