Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
One method of formulating a research question is identified by the acronym PICO (i.e., patient, population, or problem; intervention; comparison intervention; and outcomes).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Searching the database for the evidence begins the third phase. The nurse may need to consult three categories of information resources, which are reviewed in sequential order depending on need and applicability. The categories are general information (background) resources, filtered resources, and unfiltered resources. The second phase of evidence-based research consists of formulating a specific research question so that the nurse can effectively search the literature databases. The first phase of evidence-based research consists of assessing the need for change in practice by identifying a problem. After identifying an article or systematic review resource that seems appropriate to the question, the nurse must critically appraise the information.
