For the two practice examples, complete a possible patient/population, intervention, comparison and outcomes question. Make sure the questions have the elements of a PICO.

First identify each element that will make up the PICO question and then take all the elements and write a question. Then identify the search terms you would use, which are the main concepts in the PICO question.
