Assignment Overview Transcript
Assignment Practice Scenario
Your Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) recognizes you are pursuing your BSN and has asked you to be a member of the nursing evidence-based practice (NEBP) committee. She has advised the members that the purpose is to conduct nursing research studies involving clinical practice problems. Increasing nurses’ awareness of quality and safety concerns will help develop an attitude of inquiry and asking questions (Sherwood & Barnsteiner, 2017). Baccalaureate nurses “collaborate in problem identification, participate in the process of search, retrieval, and documentation of evidence, and integrate evidence using credible databases and internet resources” (AACN, 2008, pp. 16-17)Evidence Based Practice Problem Assignment.
The CNE has advised all members of the following areas of quality and safety clinical practice that each committee member needs to consider and choose only one as a priority area for conducting a research study. Sources of research problems come from nursing clinical practice (Houser, 2018):
| Quality | Safety |
| · Patient satisfaction
· Patient education |
· Falls |
| · Non-pharmacological pain management | Errors. Examples include:
· Medication · Patient identification · Communication |
| · Readmissions
· Length of stay · Costs |
Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Examples include:· Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) · Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) · Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) · Surgical Site Infections (SSI) · Sepsis (Screening or Prevention) |
| · Discharge Teaching/Coaching
· Transitions of Care/Level of Care |
· Pressure Ulcers
· Skin Integrity |
Your CNE has requested that you select ONLY one topic area and complete the PPE Worksheet using only one topic area. The committee will collaborate and decide as a team which nursing clinical problem area will be the priority focus of their next research study. Thank you for your valuable contributions to this important NEBP committee.

| Criteria | One of the most common hospital-acquired infections is urinary tract infections secondary to indwelling catheters. As a result, catheter-associated urinary tract infections contribute to prolonged hospital stays and increase the cost of treatment. In addition to this, CAUTI contributes to multi-drug resistance. Moreover, it has been reported that CAUTI contributes to developing septicemia and sepsis and eventually causes death (Sun, Ren, & Long, 2020). Sun, Ren, & Long (2020) stated that about 70% of CAUTI can be prevented through infection-control strategies. Hence, for the above-stated reasons, CAUTI prevention measures must be evaluated to avoid prolonged hospital stays by decreasing its prevalence, especially in geriatric patients.

While undertaking this assignment, three articles were selected using the Chamberlain College of Nursing Library. The selection of the three articles entailed answering the PICOT question that had been developed. Likewise, the articles were selected because they were peer-reviewed and had been published in the last ten years.

| Implications of the Evidence
Summarize what you learned from the evidence. Summarize why you believe the nursing evidence-based practice committee should focus their next research project on the nursing practice problem. |
Using urinary catheters is essential and cannot be done away with; thus, measures should be developed to do away with it. Sun, Ren, & Long, (2020) undertook a meta-analysis that showed that using coated urinary catheters such as silver, gold and palladium decreases the rate of CAUTI in the short term. Research is essential to evaluate the safety of using these catheters in patients who are already asymptomatic UTIs. Wald et al. (2014) highlighted the importance of electronic surveillance for indwelling catheters and CAUTI. Evidence Based Practice Problem Assignment |
