interests you as you will stay with this topic for future assignments in this course! Use the same topic
for discussions and assignments! The second part is to write the PICOT question. Then ask a question
about your topic and/or PICOT of your classmates to continue the course dialogue. The assigned
readings prompt you step by step how to write the PICOT. Finally, you are asked to think and write
about your values related to quality and EBP and if there are any ethical considerations specific to your
project. For the third question, remember the three components of EBP: research evidence,
experiences, and values.
