Neutropenic Sepsis: Patient Post Chemo

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.

PICOT format is a helpful approach for summarizing research questions that explore the effect of an intervention.

(P) – Population refers to the problem and the population that is effected.
(I) – Intervention refers to will be provided to solve or improve the problem
(C) – Comparison identifies what you plan on using as a reference to compare with your intervention
(O) – Outcome represents what result you plan on measuring to examine the effectiveness of your intervention
(T) – Time describes the duration for your data collection.

Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:

Evidence-Based Solution
Nursing Intervention
Patient Care
Health Care Agency
Nursing Practice
