Resumen
RODRIGUES, DS; VIEGAS DIAS, C y HELENO, B. How to answer to a clinical question. Rev Port Med Geral Fam [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp.155-166. ISSN 2182-5173. https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v35i2.12575.
Medical knowledge is in permanent construction and being updated is an inherent task of medical practice. The purpose of this article is to review the methodology for answering clinical questions and to propose the 5A model for this purpose. Obtaining meaningful answers to clinical questions consists of adequately elaborating the question, acquiring the necessary information, critically assessing this information, applying the evidence to our context and practice, and ultimately acting to ensure that patients receive the best medical care. This exercise should be included in the day-to-day practice of medical care and, if it meets criteria of novelty, methodological rigor and relevance to clinical practice, disclosed and published.
