The study by Eriksen & Frandsen (2018) seeks to determine if the PICO model as a strategy affects the quality of literature research. The research uses a comprehensive literature search conducted in various places. The research areas were conducted include Library and Information Science Abstracts and the Web of Science. The evidence-based medical working group emphasized the preciseness of patient problems. The PICO strategy model is also used as a tool for the reformation of the clinical study queries in relation to evidence assortment.

Nurses incorporate the use of Evidence-Based Practice to increase the quality, effectiveness, and safety of the care they offer to their patients. EBP is created to improve the standardization of EBP in the practice of nursing (Milner & Cosme, 2017). Nurses need to learn the best ways they can incorporate into their practice as they offer the best services to their patients. The method used is one that teaches nurses how to build and strengthen skills so that the practical questions can be famed and formulated in a way that is easy to search for.

The work gives a simple demonstration of simple, cost-effective detection of a component in the hospital setting. The usage of pesticides, especially organophosphorus pesticides, has been associated with some commercial benefits (Sharma, Wangoo & Sharma, 2012). One of the benefits is that the prolonged usage of the chemical is associated with serious drawbacks affecting human health. The other is that the drug has been reported that the inevitable exposure to pesticides has been related to more than three hundred thousand deaths annually.

PICO mnemonic is an evidence-based tool for medicine that allows researchers to come up with questions essential for conducting the right search for scientific information. The study aimed to assess if the PICO strategy answers a research question in the field of dentistry (Alarcón-Gil, Osorio Toro & Baena-Caldas, 2019). The method used to assess the credibility of the study was formulating a research question identifying the natural language terms for the components of PICO, and coming up with research questions.

American healthcare is ranked among the best in the world. The ranking comes as a result of analyzing the healthcare facilities where technology is best used (Mayer, 2004). Evidence-based medicine is a new concept that allows physicians to apply the current evidence in the medical literature so that they can offer the best care to their patients. The strategy ensures following a small history of the medicine and its statistics.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is and will continue to be a life-threatening disease to human beings. Patients suffering from COPD and respiratory failure have a poorer prognosis than those without the disease (Shah, D’Cruz & Murphy, 2018). As a result, non-invasive ventilation is a useful tool in acute and chronic home care settings. The main reason is that evidence-basedevidence-based practice protects patients from dying of ventilation-related complications.

The self-management of COPD patients reduces hospital admissions and encourages increased health quality of life (Jolly et al., 2018). The patients may fail to go to hospitals but be provided with the care they need as considerate as they can think of. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the aspect is made easy and possible by community-based self-management interventions in the primary care of patients suffering from this disease and other chronic diseases.

Using preventive home monitoring to reduce hospital admission rates and reduce costs: a case study of telehealth among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Journal of telemedicine and telecare, 18(4), 221-225.
There are so many things that the community can engage in to reduce the number of chronic patients attending a hospital. However, the achievements may come with consequences (Dinesen et al., 2012). Some patients may need extra care that cannot be offered while at home. In that case, the patients may be randomized to usual care and rehabilitated using the telehealth monitoring device.
