DQReview the Topic Materials and the work completed in NRS-433V to formulate a PICOT
statement for your capstone project.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.Make sure to address the following on the PICOT
statement:Evidence-Based SolutionNursing InterventionPatient CareHealth Care

PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSResearch PurposeThe research purpose is the statement of why
the study is being undertaken. The purpose statement may be explicit or implicit but should
be stated objectively. The research purpose is more specific than the research problem and
is generated by way of deductive reasoning. The research purpose communicates the aim or
goal of the study. In addition, the major variables to be studied, along with the population
and setting, are identified in the research purpose (Cooper & Schindler, 2003).As the
research purpose becomes clearer, the researcher must determine the feasibility of the
study by examining the commitment required in time and money, as well as expertise
required, subject availability, and any ethical considerations. An example of a clinical
research purpose that might be deemed feasible is to determine if a relationship exists
between the extent of participation in selected behaviors that may be detrimental to health
and the propensity to take risks. Reducing infection rates of central lines DQReview of
LiteratureThe purpose for the review of literature is to gain a broad understanding of the
available information related to the research problem. Relevant literature is examined, and
provides credibility to the study being pursued. There are three steps to the review of

2. literature process: locating relevant sources, critiquing the sources, and generating the
written report of the resulting knowledge. Literature can be located through electronic
literature searches of electronic databases, such as CINAHL, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and
HealthSTAR, and print resources such as those found in libraries.The literature review
section should be written in an organized manner, beginning with the introduction, leading
to the presentation of empirical and theoretical sources, and ending with the summary of
relevant ideas. The information gained through the review of literature is logically
organized and presented in the review-of-literature section of the report (Cooper &
Schindler, 2003).Research QuestionOnce the problem has been identified, the literature
review completed, and the conceptual framework chosen, the research question needs to be
formulated. The question may either be in the form of a statement, a question, or a
hypothesis. The research question must be succinct, clear, and it must answer the question
being studied.Formulating the research question may be one of the most difficult steps of
the research process. Usually, the initial dilemma is very broad, and must be narrowed to be
reasonably studied. A research question should be based on facts, which will lead to the
formulation of investigative questions. The question should be theoretical, practical, and
feasible (Cooper & Schindler, 2003).HypothesisThe hypothesis is a prediction of the
researcher’s expected findings of the research study. The hypothesis includes the variables
to be studied and their relationships, the population to be studied, and the type of research
to be conducted. The hypothesis also directs the measurement of variables, the selection of
the design, and the interpretation of the findings. The findings of the study either indicate
acceptance or non-acceptance of the hypothesis (Cooper & Schindler, 2003).Research
