Answer to Question 1

A
The more focused a question you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in the scientific literature.

A well-designed PICO question does not have to include all four elements, nor does it have to follow the PICO sequence. Do not be satisfied with clinical routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to provide patient care.

Answer to Question 2

C
C = Comparison of interest. What is the usual standard of care or current intervention you use now in practice?
P = Patient population of interest. Identify your patients by age, gender, ethnicity, disease, or health problem.
I = Intervention of interest. What is the intervention you think is worthwhile to use in practice (e.g., treatment, diagnostic test, prognostic factor)?
O = Outcome. What result do you wish to achieve or observe as a result of an intervention (e.g., change in patient's behavior, physical finding, change in patient's perception)?
