FAQ:
Answer: No. Often, you will simply search for the P & I, or P & O. Depending on the amount of literature, you may find that your results are too small if you search for P, I and O.
Answer: There is some flexibility in your PICO - e.g. your friend may be a senior citizen, or pregnant, however you PICO should be based on the general scenario that has been provided.
From the Assignment, "Using the scenario below as a guide, develop a clear question following the PICO framework. You do not need to include all of the components of the scenario in your PICO question; rather use this scenario to inspire a specific, searchable, and focused question. You can choose which age group, gender, life course stage (i.e. pregnant, breastfeeding, adult, senior) that is of interest for your hypothetical patient/population. There are more than one “correct” PICO questions that can emerge from this scenario, so keep your question clear and focused.
Scenario: You have a friend who was recently diagnosed with type II diabetes. Your friend heard that a ketogenic diet could cure diabetes, help with weight loss and provide much more energy and a sense of wellbeing. Your friend wants to know whether the ketogenic diet is the magic bullet they’ve been looking for to improve their health."
