INTRODUCTION
- Most of the health care facilities have implemented Evidence Based Practices mostly in nursing
- EBP involves the use of research evidence, clinical expertise as well as patient’s preferences
- There is a confusion on the pros and cons of EBP in nursing
- Thus, PICOT questions are based on the use of EBP in each day’s nursing project.
PICOT QUESTION
- With the mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU aged 40 years or older, does the use of oral chlorhexidine in comparison to no chlorhexidine aid in reducing the incidence of VAP in 5 weeks?
