The nursing segment has various questions and researchers. Often, Appropriate answers are needed to respond to the questions or study subjects. Therefore, many research problems or clinical queries can be subdivided into four facets, which are referred to as the PICOT(Researchguides.uic.edu, 2015).In reference to my previous workstation, a in a major health care facility, we had an objective of determining the rate of patient mortality that results from cardiac arrest. The research department is always concerned with cardiac related issues and therefore, they are always diagnosing the other causes of cardiac issues as well as the proper handling of patients that have suffered from a cardiac arrest.

There are new mechanisms of monitoring aged patients and their risk of death as a result of cardiac arrest. However, the health care facilitators have come up with guidelines to prevent cardiac related issues and also the remedies of individuals that are prone to cardiac arrest.Moreover, the facility provided guidelines on the signs and symptoms of proximity to cardiac arrest. One major aspect of the study is to compare patient mortality rate that is as a result of cardiac related issues and that related to bacterial infections.

PICOT QUESTION.

In patients with more than fifty years of age, how does the rate of patient mortality as a result of cardiac arrest compared to succumbing from bacterial infections influence their risk of death during the hospitalization period.

P= the patients with more than fifty years of age

I= the intervention is the rate of patient mortality as a result of cardiac arrest

C= succumbing from bacterial infections

O= the risk of death

T= during the period of hospitalization.
