Sample Solution

I: Music therapy intervention

C: Standard care

O: Delirium severity (measured using the CAM-ICU scale)

T: 7 days

This question is specific and answerable, and it is relevant to nursing practice. The population of interest is older adults who are admitted to the hospital with delirium. The intervention is music therapy, which is a type of non-pharmaceutical intervention that has been shown to be effective in reducing delirium severity in older adults.

The comparison intervention is standard care, which is the usual care that is provided to older adults with delirium. The outcome of interest is delirium severity, which is measured using the CAM-ICU scale. The time frame is 7 days, which is the length of time that the intervention is expected to have an effect.
