Final answer:
To construct a PICOT question, identify the patient population (P), intervention (I), comparison (C), outcome (O), and time (T) and combine them to form a structured question. The provided information forms a question on the effectiveness of diet and exercise in reducing hypertension among adults, compared to those without such interventions.
Step-by-step explanation:
To write out a PICOT question using the information provided:
- P (Population): adults with hypertension
- I (Intervention): diet and exercise
- C (Comparison): adults with hypertension who do not have diet and exercise interventions
- O (Outcome): decrease in hypertension
- T (Time): (the time frame is not provided in the information, you would specify the duration over which the intervention's effectiveness is measured, such as 'over a 12-month period')
Combining these components, the PICOT question would be:
"In adults with hypertension (P), how does diet and exercise (I) compared to no diet and exercise (C) affect the decrease in hypertension (O) over a specified time period (T)?"
