Introduction
Unanswered issues in the clinical practice may provoke the formulation of a clinical research question. A researchable question normally entails an uncertainty that can be examined or analyzed to give useful information. The clinical question in this paper would be helpful in finding the evidence which answers the question.
Purpose Statement
The “purpose” of this paper is to formulate a clinical question that I want to learn more about and find some answers. The underlying question may provide vital insight to determine whether the topic is significant and researchable.
Data search
The question in this paper has been formulated based on the search words “amoxicillin for otitis media.” The search resulted in more than 100 articles. However, the search was based on a specific type of journal which I was able to find in the database. The information in the literature search would be useful in answering the question which has been formulated.
Research Question
Based on the requirement of this paper, the following question has been formulated:
Does treatment with amoxicillin increase the risks of developing resistance in children suffering from otitis media?
I already know that amoxicillin is the main drug for treating otitis media (Bakradze et al., 2016). However, I need to know whether it increases the risks of developing resistance, particularly on children suffering from Otis media. Therefore, the question calls for further study to evaluate its effectiveness on acute otitis media (AOM).

Conclusion
In the clinical settings, clinical questions normally arise from central issues which help identify risk factors and identify the best treatment options (Burns & Chung, 2010). Some of these questions may lead to interesting answers as far as our clinical inquiry is concerned. Thus, there is the need consider the feasibility of obtaining the answers or evidence to the matters of concerns.
