Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The nurse should access a database and search for information appropriate for the research topic. Asking the librarian for help might not be time efficient. Discussing ideas and content with classmates is not the most appropriate approach. The class research textbook might not have information appropriate for the research topic.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

PICOT is an acronym for terms to be included in the clinical question. These terms include patient population, intervention or issue of interest, comparison intervention or group, outcome, and time frame. Assessment, patient home address, and patient discharge plan are not parts of the PICOT format.
