I is for Intervention
What is the Intervention?
The intervention is what you plan to do for your patient or patient group.
For example, you might:
- Run tests
- Prescribe drug treatment
- Refer to a specialist
- Schedule sugery
Case:
You meet your new patient Tracey, a thirteen year old female. She is an avid bubblegum chewer. Between bubbles, and after she provides her dental history, she asks, “Is it true that chewing bubblegum with Xylitol helps prevent cavities?” Determined to give Tracey the correct answer you promise that you will do some research and get back to her.
Please think of a short statement identifying the intervention in the case above. [You’ll refer back to your statement later in the tutorial]
