Examine the research literature and utilize library resources to locate quality, peer-reviewed
sources to support their chosen topic and solution. Students will use the PICOT question process
to create a PICOT question for their topic. Review your problem or issue and the study materials
to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question
starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical
problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem
must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a
patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format
(provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a
positive patient outcome.
Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:
1. Evidence-based solution
2. Nursing intervention
3. Patient care
4. Health care agency
5. Nursing practice
