NR 505 Week 2 PICOT Question Collaboration Café
Paper Instructions
Purpose
The focus for Week 2 is the development of a PICOT question. Please view this short video on how to develop your PICOT question
Remember- PICOT should focus on something you as an NP can implement and should focus on measurable health outcomes. Full-practice authority, burnout, satisfaction surveys, and anything that would require a policy or law change should not be used. Please view short video above to get a clearer understanding of requirements.
Using the area of interest identified in the Week 1 discussion, address the following;
- Draft a PICOT question using the standard quantitative PICOT format.
Identify your practice question, being sure to include the following information and describe each part of the PICOT question in detail:
- Population
- Intervention
- Comparison
- Outcome
- Time
In ________(Population) what is the effect of ___________(Intervention) in comparison to ___________ (Comparison) on _____________ (Outcome) to be completed over __________ (Time).
Review the PICOT questions of two of your peers. Provide substantive feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Sample Answer
This is in addition to Dr. Shay’s excellent video on the PICOT QUESTION composition! I am a visual learner! Perhaps you are too!
PICOT QUESTION COMPOSITION HELPFUL HINTS!
When you have determined your NP practice setting to be included in your question, you state (P) the specific population and age group, (I) determine your practice change or intervention, it should be (C) compared to a previously failed practice change or intervention or not having the intervention at all for (O) a measurable outcome within a (T) reasonable time frame NO longer than twelve months!
You can have only ONE SPECIFIC POPULATION in an AGE GROUP, FOR ONE INTERVENTION, FOR ONE COMPARISON, FOR ONE MEASURABLE OUTCOME, IN A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME.
If you have multiple variables, you cannot determine what CAUSED the outcome!
Example THIS IS NOT AN NP PRACTICE CHANGE. This is an example of an RN-BSN PICOT QUESTION.
You will have to determine your NP practice setting and practice change! This illustration gives you a tool for correctly composing the PICOT QUESTION!
In (P) patients over 65 on a med-surgical unit (I), what is the effect of anti-slip socks (C) in comparison to bed alarms (O) to reduce the fall rate by 50% (T) over three months?
Explain each PICOT ELEMENT in detail.

- (C) in comparison to bed alarms
