Assignment 1: Getting
Started with a PICOT Question (20 points)
All assignments in this course
build upon each other. Assignment 1 builds on the PICOT question submitted by

The PICOT format for this course is an intervention question. The
interventions must be nursing interventions and not medical. No
duplicate PICOT questions.
Step one (1) of the
evidence-base practice (EBP) process is to formulate a burning PICOT question.
Step two searches for the best scientific evidence (external evidence) by
considering the elements of the PICOT question.
