Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A problem-focused trigger question is one you face while caring for a client or a trend you see on a nursing unit.For example,while caring for an unconscious client,you think,"What is the best solution to use when giving mouth care to this client?"
The more focused a question you ask,the easier it will be to search for evidence in the scientific literature.PICO is a formatting process used when searching the literature for information on a specific topic.
Hypotheses are predictions made about the relationship or difference between study variables (a concept,characteristic,or trait that varies within subjects).
A knowledge-focused trigger is a question regarding new information available on a topic.For example,"What is the current evidence to improve pain management in clients with migraine headaches?"
