Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

B This statement includes comparison (differences between feeding tubes) but does not include the other PICO elements.
C This statement includes only a problem and needs to be further refined to include the PICO elements.
D This statement is worded as a clinical question and includes the four PICO elements: population (adult patients), intervention (methods of determining stomach placement), comparison (among methods), and outcome (prevent aspiration).
