Evidence-Based Solution to Reducing Incidence The goal of this assignment is to increase my ability to appraise and synthesize evidence to provide experience a logical argument in support of a proposal for practice change, and to provide experience in designing a detailed implementation and evaluation plan for my project. I need to discuss my project plan with you. An evidence-based solution to reducing incidence of hospital acquired infections through indwelling medical

The hospital used for the study already had protocols in place to prevent patients from getting pneumonia. Published data was provided and posters were placed in all units. However, the nurses chose not to follow the protocols set forth. This is the reason the study was conducted. The nurses confessed that they felt oral care was more of a comfort to the patients than a preventative measure to pneumonia. The

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci (MRSA), most common Healthcare Associated Infections The PICOT question to be discussed is: For adult patients using catheters, does the use of sterilization practices reduce the future risk of health associated infections like MRSA compared with standard procedure in one week? The answer is yes. The support given to answer the question will be based on peer-reviewed journals and scientific literature. A summary of the evidence will be availed in a

Mobility Evidence-based Practice Progressive Mobility Protocol This paper is a project based on PICO. The clinical question that serves as the foundation for this data-based design is; for immobile critical care patients, does the use of a nurse driven progressive mobility protocol reduce ICU LOS compared to every hour of repositioning? In this paper, the adult patients admitted to an ICU represent the population (P) of interest. The nurse driven progressive mobility

Introduction Nurses in all settings are tasked with providing care in a caring manner with attention to all aspects of the person, health, and environment. Through uniting all risk factors that affect the health of the patient, nurses are expected to provide a holistic nursing care, which is a comprehensive model of care. A holistic approach means that the nurse is informed about a patient's whole life situation. Discussion Description   Holistic care includes a

The best nursing practice in the specific case would be not only the direct care of the young patient, but also the inclusion of the family in the in house hospital care as to provide an example of what is to be done at home in order to prevent relapse. Many family members might mistakenly believe that their own form of care will be sufficient in the case of a
