The focus this week is to practice, practice, practice writing a PICOT question, so it becomes second nature. By honing skills in writing a PICOT question, the clinical/administrative issue will be well defined and the search for evidence will be more successful. Each component of the PICOT question must be clearly articulated. No duplicate PICOT questions.
Formulate a PICOT question using the intervention format found in Box 2.2 on page 44 of the text
Each of the three replies to classmates should be a critique of the structure of the PICOT question. Is it in the correct PICOT format? Is the question specific enough? Is the patient population specific? Is the intervention a nursing intervention? Are there too many outcomes? Does the question make sense? Provide colleagues with suggestion on how to improve the PICOT question. No medical interventions!
Discuss one (1) strategy a master’s prepared nurse could do to cultivate a spirit of inquiry to overcome barriers from colleagues who are resistant in pursing evidence-based process.
P: hospital nurses
I: using antibacterial foam
C: hand washing with soap and water
O: decreased bacteria count
In hospital nurses, does antibacterial foam decrease bacteria count on hands as much as hand washing with soap and water?
Would adult patients in the ICU have a decreased incidence of CLABSIs
if clinical staff utilized CLABSI bundle (hand hygiene, barrier precautions, use of
chlorohexidine, optimal site selection, avoidance of femoral sites, and daily review of line
necessity protocols as opposed to clinical staff dealing with central lines without a protocol,
during the duration of the ICU stay?
