Evidence Based Practice Nursing

Seeking a Cause: PICO Question

Are adults in a inpatient setting (Population), who have prophylactic antihistamines pre- blood transfusions (Intervention) compared with those without prophylactic antihistamines at risk for/of blood transfusion reactions (Outcome) over the first 15 minutes of the transfusion (specific Time)? Is this best practice?

The purpose of this assignment is to write an evidence-based practice paper for a clinical problem identified in the student’s clinical practice setting.

The EBP paper will be developed from the PICO question addressing the clinical problem.

An in-depth review of the literature using primary sources will be completed.
