Abstract:
Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the best evidence available to make decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of EBM means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. The good practice of EBM begins with a well formulated clinical question, meaning that it should be clear, directly relevant to the problem at hand and answerable by searching in medical literature. This paper begins by presenting the central tasks of clinical work from which clinical questions arise. The components of well formulated clinical questions are then presented. Finally, some of the steps for the correct formulation of questions are discussed.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
