    This document describes three clinical scenarios and identifies the type of clinical question, PICOT elements, and proposed clinical questions for each scenario. The first scenario involves differentiating between bacterial and non-bacterial sore throats to determine appropriate antibiotic treatment. The second scenario evaluates the use of baby dolls for patients with dementia exhibiting aggressive behavior. The third scenario assesses the effectiveness of brief intervention techniques for teenage smoking cessation. For each scenario, the type of clinical question, population, intervention, comparison, outcomes, and proposed question are identified.

    ACTIVITY 2- EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE

    Do the following:

    A. Read the scenario

    B. Identify the type of Clinical Question

    C. Identify PICOT in the scenario

    D. Select the appropriate templates and formulate your questions.

    1. Patients with a sore throat should not automatically be prescribed antibiotics as


    many sore throats are non-bacterial in origin. The gold standard for diagnosing bacterial
    sore throat is a throat swab and culture but this is expensive and time-consuming. The
    Physician need a quick, easy diagnostic tool (e.g. a checklist or scorecard) to help them
    to decide whether a sore throat is bacterial or non-bacterial in origin.

    Diagnostic question

    Patient/Population: Patients with a sore throat

    Intervention/Indicator: checklist or scorecard

    Comparison/Control: throat swab and culture

    Outcomes: Accurate diagnosis

    Type of Study or Question: Does a sore throat checklist or scorecard help Physicians
    differentiate between bacterial (requiring antibiotics) and non-bacterial infection
    inpatients presenting with a sore throat?

    2. You're a new graduate who's accepted a position on a gerontology unit. A number


    of the patients have dementia and are showing aggressive behavior. You recall a
    clinical experience you had as a first-year nursing student in a long-term care unit and
    remember seeing many of the patients in a specialty unit for dementia walking around
    holding baby dolls. You're wondering if giving baby dolls to your patients with dementia
    would be helpful.
    Prognosis/Predictions

    Patient/Population: Patients who have dementia

    Intervention/Indicator: Giving baby dolls

    Comparison/Control: Patients in a specialty unit for dementia walking around holding


    baby dolls

    Outcomes: Showing aggressive behavior

    Type of Study or Question: Are patient with dementia who is given baby dolls decrease
    in aggressive behavior compared with patient with dementia without baby dolls?

    3. A Student nurse with a special interest in smoking cessation wants to encourage


    those in her practice to engage with teenagers to stop them smoking. In order to
    persuade her colleagues she wants to see what evidence is available, particularly on
    the effectiveness of brief intervention techniques.

    Etiology Question

    Patient/Population: Teenagers who smoke

    Intervention/Indicator: Brief intervention

    Comparison/Control: None

    Outcomes: Smoking cessation

    Type of Study or Question: Can brief intervention be used as an effective smoking


    cessation technique with teenagers?
