THE PICOT STATEMENT SHOULD PERTAIN TO HOSPITAL ACQUIRED INFECTIONS AND CATHETER ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS. PLEASE REACH OUT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE FORMING THE PICOT AND COMPLETING THE ESSAY.
Assignment instructions and rubric attached. Please follow the rubric.
A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.
Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:
- Evidence-Based Solution
- Nursing Intervention
- Patient Care
- Health Care Agency
- Nursing Practice
