DISCUSSION ESSAY

In your initial 200–250 word post, describe a recent clinical scenario where you faced a patient problem that required choosing between one intervention and another.

For example, an oncology infusion center scenario could generate a clinical decision to choose between narcotics alone or narcotics and music therapy to treat bone pain associated with a bone-marrow stimulating drug. The same scenario generates meaningful issues such as vulnerability, pain, feeling mortal, etc.

Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts.

Discussion Prompts

• Construct a PICO question about effectiveness. In general, what do you need to know?
• What is the patient experience that you want to understand?
• What was the most challenging part of writing either type of question?
• What role do you think questioning plays or will play in your everyday practice?
