The evidence-based practice process begins by identifying a problem and asking specific questions that will lead you to the appropriate evidence for the problem. The clinical question provides a structured approach that ensures you have all the important elements for focused research. You will be looking at something that currently exists and examining current evidence for possible better practices. Here is an example of a question:
Does a structured nurse residency program (I) for new graduate nurses (P) improve retention rates (O) as compared to the current orientation process (C)?
Ensure that all the PICO elements are accounted for in your clinical question and that it is nurse focused.
Make sure you check back in the discussion thread for my responses. Don’t forget to use APA in your posts, including citations and references.
