The word PICOT is a mnemonic derived from the elements of a clinical research question, it stands for
Population/ patient problem ( who is your patient i.e. Sex, age, health, status/disease)
Intervention (what do you plan for the patient i.e. specific tests, therapies, medications)
Comparison (what is the alternative to your plan i.e. no treatment, different types of treatment)
Outcome (what outcome do you seek i.e. less symptoms, no symptoms, full health)
Time (what is the time frame)
At homework nursing essays, our nurses will ensure you formulate a good PICOT question that will investigate something new in terms of diagnosis, etiology, therapy etc.
