What are key search terms identified in the practice question?Conduct a library search using these search terms to locate a research studyaddressing this practice problem and consider the following. What is the research-evidence based intervention addressed in the study? What is the quantifiable outcome(s)? How will the outcome(s) be measured? What potential reliable and valid measurements/tools may be used to measure this quantifiable data? Is this practice question answerable within 8-10 weeks? Why or why not?Practice Question 2: In the adult critical care population, does a research-based skin care integrity bundle, compared to standard care, influence the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries over an 8-10 week time period? Identify the PICOT elements. What are key search terms identified in the practice question?Conduct a library search using these search terms to locate a research study addressing this practice problem and consider the following. What is the research-evidence based intervention in the study? What is the quantifiable outcome(s)? How will the outcome(s) be measured?
