Conducting a Library Search
The choice of Boolean terminology can markedly affect your search returns. Select a topic related to your area of practice, and select two scholarly databases to find
information on the topic. Describe the search. What key words did you use? How many articles did your initial search yield? How did you narrow or expand the search?
How many articles did you find once you narrowed or expanded the search? Summarize the results from the search.
Week 5 discussion
PICO (T)
The PICO (T) format is a way to develop a clinical question that lends itself to searching for evidence. Select a common nursing practice (e.g., wound care management)
in your clinical setting and formulate a PICO question. Once you have formulated your question, conduct a library search and locate one scholarly article that addresses
the topic you have selected. Post your clinical question in the TD, explain the PICO(T) elements, and provide a full reference of the article you selected.
There are tutorials in the Chamberlain Library specific to PICO and performing a literature search.
