Answer to Question 1

A
Using the PICO approach allows for a systematic method of identifying important concepts when formulating the clinical question. Every component of the PICO model may not be used in every case. However, regardless of the type of resource used, the PICO model is effective in strategically guiding the development of the clinical question.

Answer to Question 2

A
Developing the clinical question is the most important step in the evidence-based process. The RN must develop a clinical question that encompasses the key components to ensure that the question addresses an answerable concern that can be converted into relevant application. Evi-dence-based practice requires that clinicians make use of the best research they can find to help them in decision making. To find that research efficiently, the clinician must ask a well-designed clinical question with all the elements that will lead to finding relevant research literature. The first step in doing this is to determine the type of question: background or foreground. The type of question helps determine the resources to access to answer the question.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
