For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT
question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six
supporting peer-revised research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed
research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.
Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment.
Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient
population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250
words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of
interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students
must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project.
Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice
problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-
reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.
