Define each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences.
· P-Population and problem (What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?)
· I–Intervention (What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?)
· C–Comparison (What is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.)
· O–Outcome (Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? How you will measure the outcome?)
· T–Timeframe (Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative/target date of completion.)
