Question
1. When identifying the specific population for the PICOT question, what should the team consider when formulating the question?
Use careful consideration of the patient and the specific setting of interest to define the population.
Always limit the populations to a certain age group or special subgroup (e.g., females with lung cancer).
Use local terms to help assure that your population is identified correctly for the search.
Include arbitrary designations for the patient population to help identify relevant evidence.
2. The EBP mentor is reviewing various
PICOT questions from the team.
Which PICOT is a "meaning" question?
In parents, how does social media information compared to provider education influence decisions to refuse immunizations for their children aged 3 to 24 months?
Are ex-miners who have asbestos exposure compared to those without exposure at higher risks for mesothelioma over their lifetime?
How do pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies perceive mandatory bedrest until delivery?
In girls, how do warning labels on cigarettes compared to peer education affect smoking rates during adolescence?
3. The EBP mentor shares this PICOT with the team: Are fair-skinned females
(P) who have prolonged unprotected UV ray exposure (>1 hour) (1) compared to darker-skinned females without prolonged unprotected ultraviolet ray exposure (C) at increased risk of melanoma (0)? What type of clinical question is this?
Intervention
Prognosis/prediction
Diagnosis
Etiology
4. There is a large variation in information being provided to breastfeeding mothers on how to thaw frozen breastmilk to be fed to their premature newborns. Which answer best illustrates the "I" component to identify best practices?
In thawing breastmilk, how does using a bottle warmer compared to a microwave on low setting affect the quality and temperature of the milk for feeding?
How do breastfeeding mothers, who need to thaw the milk for their newborns, perceive education received from the NICU nurses?
Does frozen breastmilk break down when heated in the microwave?
How much do newborns eat when given thawed breastmilk compared to fresh breastmilk?
5. When mentoring an EBP team on how to select the strongest intervention or issue of interest search terms, what information do you provide to assist them in developing the PICOT?
The intervention must be something considered important by your organization.
The intervention should be one being done on your unit to see if you are currently using best practice strategies.
The intervention should be supported by the providers working in the organization.
The intervention/issue can be a therapy, exposure to disease, prognostic factor, or risk behavior.
