Example 1
Answer 1:
The main aim of the research project was to implement ABCDE bundle to enhance
outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) in a rural community hospital. Thus, the central focus
of this project was quality improvement.
Answer 2:
The main clinical question asked in this project included ‘Does the implementation of the
ABCDE bundle of care versus the usual care decrease the occurrence of delirium, length of
stay (LOS), patient total hospital LOS and length of mechanical ventilation of patient and
eventually reduce the costs in the ICU settings?
The significance of the above question is that it has been developed based on the PICO
framework and the question covers all the components of the PICO framework. The
components of the question were as follows:
Population (P): ICU patients
Intervention (I): ABCDE bundle of care
Comparator (C): Usual care or no ABCDE bundle
Outcome (O): Decrease cost in the ICU (Primary outcome) evidenced by other secondary
outcomes listed in the research question

This project may have adapted problem focused trigger because delirium is a common
issue in mechanically ventilated patients in ICU which increase LOS and increase the overall
cost care (Kram et al., 2015). Hence, as the project has implemented ABCDE bundle in
response to this problem, it can be said that it is based on a problem focused trigger. It can
also be based on a knowledge focused trigger as the research outcome gives information on
how ABCDE bundle can be cost-effective in enhancing ICU patient outcomes.
Example 2
Answer 1
From the review of abstract and introduction of the article by Swenson et al. (2015), one of
the clinical questions that could be answered by this study are as follows:
What is the effectiveness of parent’s use of praise and criticism on increasing the quality of
parent-child interaction and mental health outcomes in young children seeking mental health
services?
The PIO element that has been captured in this research question are as follows:
Population (P): Young children seeking mental health services
Intervention (I): parent’s use of praise and criticism
Outcome (O): quality of parent-child interaction and mental health outcomes
