Refining keywordsCINAHL index terms

The next screen suggests the term: drug administration. Select the term by clicking the box beside it. It will be highlighted in blue and display a list of subheadings. It is best to leave this with the include all subheadings option ticked (this happens automatically). There may be more terms on the list which may be useful, scroll down the list and select Administration, oral, then click search database icon at the top right of the screen. If you accidentally click on the actual term, you'll see a screen which displays where outpatients fits in the "tree" of subject headings. Click the back command to quit from this screen and go on with your search.
