Questions

1. Determine a clinical problem you have identified in your nursing practice/clinical experiences. Or, if you have had little clinical practice, consider something you might want to see improved or decreased to enhance patient outcomes.

2. Formulate and share a research question utilizing the PICO or PIO format.

The question posed could be: In the homeless population with mental health problems (P), what is the effect of early discharge (I) on psychiatric readmission (O)?

3. Using the P and I from the PICO/PIO you wrote, share the terms you used for a general search: For Example. General Search: ("homeless psychiatric" OR " homeless mentally ill" OR "hospitalized homeless psych patient" OR "Street-based psychiatric patient" OR "street-based mentally ill" AND ("discharge" OR "follow-up" OR "ongoing care" ).
