A problem-focused trigger is one you face while caring for patients or a trend you see on a nurs-ing unit. A knowledge-focused trigger is a question that arises as a result of new information available on a topic, such as current information in literature. Titler et al. (2001) suggest using problem- and knowledge-focused triggers to think critically about clinical and operational nurs-ing-unit issues. It does not include literature or an expectations trigger.
