Answer to Question 1

The outcome component of the clinical question specifies the measureable and desired outcomes of the practice innovation. In this question, the decreased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is the outcome. The population is adult hospitalized clients, the comparison component is NSAIDs, and innovative practice is COX-2 inhibitors.
