NUR2571 Nursing and Patient Population

Formulating your question:
Clinical Question – Formulate a clinical question using the PICOT format.
P: Patient Population
I: Intervention or area on Interest
C: Comparison intervention or group
O: Outcome
T: Time
Ex: “In acute care hospitals (patient population), how does having a rapid response team (intervention) compared with not having a response team (comparison) affect the number of cardiac arrests (outcome) during a three-month period (time)?”

 

Your paper for the course project should be a 2-3 page APA paper (not including title page and the reference page) that describes the clinical problem and the following:
Reason for choosing this topic
The PICOT question
Possible integration of the evidenced that you found in clinical practice
Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation

Turn in a reference page for your PICOT paper in APA format. You must use three (3) or more relevant sources; to ensure the readings are relevant and current, the selected peer reviewed article must have been written within the past three (3) years.
No sources older than November 2018. Article or source must be reviewed by health professional or peers of some sort. Eg. Scholarly journal. The question below is one that ive formulated and now I have to research this topic and write a couple of pages about it in APA format. This instructor is tough and very precise!

In elderly patients over 65 years old residing in an institution, with greater susceptibility to urinary tract infections (UTI) (P), what are the health conditions and lifestyles of those patients (I) diagnosed with a UTI (C) compared to those without UTI (O) within two years (T)?

I choose 2 years to have enough room for whatever the research would have covered. However, the time frame can be adjusted depending on the source of the paper.
