A problem-focused trigger is a question faced when caring for a patient or a trend seen in a prac-tice setting. In this example there is a problem (urinary tract infections) and a trend (on the elder care unit). The other questions are general information questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.
