continuing with me this is video 2 and the Pico method and I'm Kerry Milner an associate professor of Nursing in the Davison Hanley College of Nursing at Sacred Heart University and let's review from the video 1 so Pico is a mnemonic used to describe the four elements of a good clinical foreground question and if you're not familiar with the term foreground that means that it's a specific question that you want to find specific evidence on versus a background question would be more like you know what are the options for preventing Falls whereas a foreground question would be is the Moores or the Hinrich tools better for preventing Falls so this little grid here shows P again and you have that's for population or problem and you try to describe as accurately and concisely as possible the patient or problem or the group of patients of interest I is for intervention and you're gonna see I'm starting to weave in cause or prognosis because in this video you're gonna learn about the different types of Pico questions so what is the main intervention or therapy comparison is for seeing is there an alternative intervention or therapy to compare and then the outcome is Oh so the types of Pico questions we're gonna start with the intervention type because we spend our most of our time here you know figuring out or wanting to find evidence on what intervention is the best for improving whatever outcome so intervention questions are used to determine what treatment therapy or action leads to the best outcome and what just appeared is the template and I highly suggest that you always use templates to draft your questions so that you will get the Pico question correctly so in blank how does blank compared with blank effect blank and we will have some examples shortly in the next video types of Pico questions that are etiology questions are used to determine the causes or origins of disease or the identification of the greatest risk factors that predispose one to a disease and here's the template for that so our blank who have blank compared with those without blank at blank risk for blank and then there are diagnostic tests or diagnosis types of people questions and these are used to determine what test is more accurate and precise and diagnosing a disease and the template for this is in blank our blank compared with blank as good in diagnosing blank and then there's prognosis and prediction questions and they're used to determine what treatment or action leads to the best outcome and the template for this is in blank out as blank compared with blank predict blank and then the last type of question is meaning and meaning questions are used to determine the meaning of an experience for a specific individual group or community and you'll see for this one you only have a P and I in a No so how do you blank with blank for Surrey blank so no no comparison in this one so we will continue to explore how to use the Pico method to practice developing the different types of questions in video 3
