Asking The Relevant Clinical Questions
A nurse in the PACU is interested in ways to decrease the use of pain medication in post-op patients. She’s wondering if classical music or guided imagery might be efficacious.
From the clinical scenario above, answer the following questions:
- What is evidence-based nursing practice and why is it important?
- What is the PICO process?
- Formulate a well defined clinical question that will yield the most relevant and best evidence.
- Describe the background of the question
- Present the question using PICOT format
- Indicate what will be the best study to answer the clinical question.
- Original posting should be 250-300 words
