According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the master’s-prepared nurse recognizes that it is essential to apply research outcomes within practice settings, resolve practice problems, serve as a change agent, and disseminate findings. Developing a well-formulated research question is a critical step that guides the research process, particularly when conducting a literature review. Asking the right question facilitates targeted searching and improves the relevance of findings.

This task involves reading an article titled "Asking the clinical question" and reviewing related slide presentations to understand the formulation of clinical questions using the PICOT framework. You are then required to practice creating two PICOT questions: one for a quantitative study and one for a qualitative study, both related to your area of interest in nursing.

Furthermore, you must obtain an Evidence-Based Guideline (EBG), Standard of Practice, or Best Practice statement relevant to your PICOT question. In your responses to colleagues’ posts, you should offer alternative PICOT questions with justified rationales, demonstrating critical thinking and understanding of evidence-based practice.

Your submission should include in-text citations from the article and at least two scholarly references formatted in APA style. Additionally, it is recommended to review online resources about PICOT questions if further clarification is needed.
