Be sure to include all of the steps you used. 4. An optimal range of 10–20 scholarly articles is to be achieved for each search. This may require performing a combination of Boolean terms in order to achieve the optimal range. If this is not possible, a detailed explanation is to be included in the Notes section. Points will be deducted if you do not perform enough of a search to arrive at the optimal range. Example: PubMed Clinical Question: In patients with muscle spasms, is relaxation as good as anti-spasmodic medication in reducing the incidence of muscle spasms?* The PICO (T) elements are: P = patients with muscle spasms I = anti-spasmodic medication C= relaxation O = reducing incidence of muscle spasms Search Number P I C O T # of Results Notes 1 Patients with muscle spasms 9576 I searched on the P, patients with muscle spasms, by typing it in the search field and clicking Search. 2 antispasmodic 42261 I searched on the I, antispasmodic, by typing it into the search field and clicking Search. 3 relaxation techniques 18003 I clicked Clear and typed relaxation in the search field. CINAHL suggested relaxation techniques, so I chose to search on this. 4 muscle spasms 20693 I clicked Clear and typed muscle spasms in the search field, and clicked Search. 5 Patients with muscle spasms antispasmodic Relaxation techniques 10 I clicked on Advanced Search and combined Search #1 with Search #2 and Search #3 using the Boolean operator AND. I clicked Search. The Results were 10 abstracts. This is within the optimal range of 10–20 returns, so I stopped searching. *This table reports the history of an actual search of this clinical question in PubMed.
