Preparing the Assignment
Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.
While many different models for evidence-based practice (EBP) exist, a core methodology is shared within each. Central to EBP models is the review of scholarly sources to appraise the quality of evidence available regarding an identified practice issue or intervention. To guide the process, the development of a PICOT statement is often the first step. Your reliable and affordable assignment help starts today!
A PICOT statement includes a brief description of the problem and population impacted, intervention, comparison, outcome, and anticipated timeframe to better understand the issue. This step provides clarity and direction as the critique of evidence from scholarly literature is initiated. The PICOT statement will be used in future assignments in this course.
Complete the PICOT Worksheet Template using the practice issue you identified in the week 1 discussion.
Follow APA grammar, spelling, word usage, and punctuation rules consistent with formal, scholarly writing.
Use APA in-text citations and complete references to support your writing.
Abide by Chamberlain University's academic integrity policy.
Include the following sections (detailed criteria listed below and in the grading rubric).
Practice Problem
Using the practice problem identified in the Week 1 discussion, summarize your practice problem in 2-3 sentences.
Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice.
Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.
PICOT Elements: Discuss each of the following PICOT elements in one or two sentences.
P-Population:
What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect? Be specific and narrow down your population. The population should be client-focused.
I-Intervention:
What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
Provide an in-text citation from one scholarly source to support your writing.
C-Comparison:
What is another solution to the problem? This is typically the current practice, an alternative solution, or no intervention.
O-Outcome:
How will you know the intervention worked?
How will you measure the outcome?
The outcome must be measurable from a baseline.
T-Timeframe:
What is the timeframe or the target completion date?
PICOT Question: Write a PICOT question using standard formatting: In _____ (P), how does _____ (I) compared to _____ (C) affect _____ (O) within _____ (T)?
Use the standard PICOT format and label each element.
P-Population
I-Intervention
C-Comparison
O-Outcome
T-Timeframe
Keywords: Identify keywords for each element of the PICOT question that could be used to support a literature search. Use Appendix B from Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2023) for guidance.
