eview your problem or issue (CAUTI awareness and prevention) to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population (young adults-geriatric) in a particular clinical area (hospital) and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention.
Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process (two months). Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 775 words (title page and references not to be included in word count), clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:
1) Evidence-based solution
2) Nursing intervention (include encourage fluids, monitor lab levels, be aware of signs and symptoms of infection, collaborative teamwork with all staff + you can add anything you feel that is necessary)
3) Patient care (include ADL assistance, frequent checks on patients, providing perineal care, HCG wipes around catheter insertion site going downward + you can add anything you feel that is necessary)
4) Health care agency
5) Nursing practice
