Order description:
Development of a PICO Clinical Question: The DNP Project courses are organized by deliverables corresponding to the John Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) process. The first steps include identifying a problem and developing a specific clinical question using the PICO format: Population/Intervention/Comparison (or Non-comparison)/Outcome. In order to identify a problem and PICO clinical question conduct a preliminary search for related evidence. Deliverable 1 has three components:
1. Please provide a preliminary PICO clinical question.
2. Search the literature for existing systematic reviews and evidence-based guidelines: Explain what was found? Describe how you searched the literature. Databases searched, keywords, limitations of the search, number of articles reviewed.
3. Please describe in 2000 words or less a rationale for the systematic review in the context of what is already known.
