PICOT Question Paper:
Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your
capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population
in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a
comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing
intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process." Formulate a
PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the
clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
Clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:
1. Evidence-based solution
2. Nursing intervention
3. Patient care
4. Health care agency
5. Nursing practice
