You ask your buddy nurse about the purpose of the supplement, and your buddy nurse explains that cranberry supplements have been shown by research to be effective in reducing the risk of urinary tract infections in adult women. Your buddy nurse suggests that you do some research to understand why the supplements are used in aged care.

The following article is to be used in your appraisal. You will still need to source two (2) further related articles that are up to 10 years old to complete the appraisal of the literature using the CRAPP framework.

Maki, K. C., Kaspar, K. L., Khoo, C., Derrig, L. H., Schild, A. L., & Gupta, K. (2016). Consumption of a cranberry juice beverage lowered the number of clinical urinary tract infection episodes in women with a recent history of urinary tract infection.
