Why we need 15 minutes Patient Safety Checks
This article discusses how in mental facilities, lowering the risk
of suicide and other sentinel occurrences is a major concern
(Invisalert, 2020). The weakness of this article is doubting the
effectiveness of this 15 minutes patient rounding.
Patient Safety and Suicide Prevention in Mental Health
Services: time for a new paradigm?
Quinlivan et,al. (2020), this article talks about combining
mental health, public health, and patient safety research
paradigms will open up new avenues and treatments to bridge
the gap between evidence, policy, and practice, and eventually
reduce suicide fatalities. The weakness of this article is that
there are significant disparities in the quality of treatment
provided to those who have come into contact with mental
health services or who have self-harmed.
Patient safety in inpatient mental health settings: a systematic
review
Bethan et.al, (2019), this is the first study to look at patient
safety in inpatient mental health facilities using a systematic
approach, which is the strength of this study and the weakness
being only peer-reviewed papers with primary data were
considered in this analysis.

Re: Topic 3 DQ 1
The following are six of the articles I have chosen for my
change project to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP).
Article 1:
Assessment of the effectiveness of a ventilator associated
pneumonia prevention bundle that contains endotracheal tube
with subglottic drainage and cuff pressure monitorization.
Strength:
Informative study about a controlled study that shows how the
lack of availability of suitable endotracheal tubes causes a
significant number of patients to re-intubated.
Weakness:
While informative, the length of time the study was conducted
was too short.
Article 2:
Collaborative cohort study of an intervention to reduce
ventilator-associated pneumonia in the intensive care unit.
Infection control and hospital epidemiology.

5. Strength:
Journal explained in depth the initiatives for improving the
care for mechanically ventilated patients (MVPs).
Weakness:
The journal did not delve too deeply into the interventions to
reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Article 3:
The importance of oral hygiene in patients submitted to
mechanical ventilation in ICU.
Strength:
Journal explains why oral hygiene is primordial for patients
undergoing mechanical ventilation.
Weakness:
The journal does not provide adequate data on the benefits of
oral preventive hygiene care for VAP.
Article 4:
Risk factors for 3-month mortality in bedridden patients with
hospital-acquired pneumonia: A multicentre prospective study.
Strength:
The strength of this journal was the amount of data amassed
supporting risk factors for mortality in bedridden patients with
hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).
Weakness:
The journal did not address the patient characteristics such as
pneumonia severity, co-infections, and types of bacteria that
could not be analyzed due to database unavailability.
Article 5:

6. Evaluating probiotics for the prevention of ventilator-
associated pneumonia: A randomised placebo-controlled
multicentre trial protocol and statistical analysis plan for
PROSPECT.
Strength:
The strength of this journal was the numerical data from
different countries supporting the use of probiotics on patients
with Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
Weakness:
The journal did not elaborate on nursing interventions.
Article 6:
Assessment of the effectiveness of a ventilator associated
pneumonia prevention bundle that contains endotracheal tube
with subglottic drainage and cuff pressure monitorization
Strength:
The strength of this journal can be measured in its insightful
content, notwithstanding the size of the group studied.
Weakness:
The small size of the case group hampered the results sought.
