V1.Implementation Plan

The intervention decision pertaining to this project relates to the PICOT question, ‘in the hospital
setting how does the use of central venous catheters (CVC) compare to the use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) influence the risk of infection rate? After completing a comprehensive literature search and review this researcher is committed to making an intervention decision to inform future evidence ...

ANATOMY OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

The urinary tract, simply put, is the bodies system of drainage through which excess water and wastes are removed from the body. It is a multi-organ system consisting of the two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder and the urethra.
The kidneys are small organs that assume the shape of a bean and are equivalently the size of a normal human fist. They are located below the rib cage, each of them on either side of the spine. Wastewater (urine) moves from the kidneys downwards through two narrow tubes known as ureters, and it is then stored in the bladder, ...

The methodology used by this research exhausted divergent analytic methods in displaying a specific pattern among the variables used in testing the subject matter, hat is, effect of obesity on the indwelling urinary catheter indicator over time. GEE model (Generalized Estimating Equation) was used to examine the effect of obesity on the indwelling urinary catheter indicator over time (Holly, Jeffrey, Zoran, & B, 2013). These results were spread over four quarters of the base time to distinguish various levels of this phenomenon. It was found that obese residents had a significant higher prevalence rate of indwelling urinary catheters than non-obese residents at ...

Hygiene refers to the practices that communities perceive as upholding or preserving healthy living, while an infection is an attack of parasites on a host organism. Hospitals being public places where both sick and healthy people mingle are likely to be more vulnerable to infections compared to other places. The sources of infections in hospitals include hospital staff, patients and the inanimate environment.

Maintenance of hand hygiene is one of the simplest yet most effective methods in prevention of infections. In spite of the society emphasizing on the importance of hand hygiene, many people including health care personnel, do not ...
