Assignment 5: Nursing practice problem of interest to use
The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to
problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is
discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding
question to address that nursing practice problem.
For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question
know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant
to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question,
identify six supporting peer-revised research articles, as indicated
below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research
articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.
Use the “Literature Assessment Table” to complete this assignment.
Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus
of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a
clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In
200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your
selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT
question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project
(the project students must complete during their final course in
the RN-BSN program of study).
