This document discusses patient safety and the role of nurses in ensuring patient safety. It makes three key points:
1) Patient safety is an essential part of nursing care according to regulatory bodies, but healthcare carries risks of adverse events due to the large number of available diagnoses, procedures, and medications. A patient has a much higher chance of experiencing a safety incident in the hospital than being killed in a plane crash.
2) Studies show that higher levels of registered nurses on staff are associated with fewer patient complications and lower mortality. Less experienced nurses and those with higher workloads also tend to make more medication errors and have more wound infections.
3) To improve safety, reports recommend increasing nurse staffing levels, making

P: Adults on an Acute Care floor
I: Required education on the Braden Scale
C: Standard Practice
O: Decrease in Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers
PICOT QUESTION: Does the required education on the Braden scale increase nursing interventions for Adult patients on an acute care floor at risk of developing pressure ulcers during hospitalization?
Currently, most hospitals are faced with a clinical problem of acquired pressure ulcers. According to Pittman et al (2015), hospital-acquired pressure ulcers remain one of the persistent and relevant issues that need to be addressed in long-term hospital stay patients. Health care is attempting to implement evidence-based protocols, though patients continue to suffer from this prevalent and preventable injury. Health care institutions are facing a big challenge for the patients with this acquired condition because hospital bills continue to balloon and at the same time insurance companies stopped paying for this condition. Research shows that pressure ulcer is preventable; though, in spite of hospitals striving to integrate evidence-based approaches to curb the issue, it continues to remain a serious issue for long-term hospital stay patients. This PICOT statement this research paper is proposing to use is a Braden Scale which can be used by nurses in their practice to reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries which will reduce the patient stay in the hospital as well as the bills burden in the hospital.
Evidence-Based
Solution
According to Engels et al (2016), “the importance of using evidence-based practice in long-term care hospitals to reduce prevalent pressure ulcers is to promote a safe cost-effective outcome for our patients, families, and the healthcare group. Research needs to be conducted and qualitative data collected when designing an evidence-based solution to hospital-acquired injuries”. Despite a lot of research being conducted from the past years concerning acquired pressure ulcers, many patients continue to get the disease. Evidence-based practice allows the nurse to get pooled in a team of experts where interdisciplinary collaboration becomes the ultimate objective for nurses to practice autonomy that enhances change in the nursing field based on data. “The nursing research utilizes qualitative and quantitative logical methods and an EBP approach aimed at around the study and change of patient consideration, understanding consideration frameworks, and patient results” (Mervis & Phillips, 2019). This PICOT question will effectively apply the Braden Scale to see how it can positively impact long-term hospital in reducing pressure ulcers injuries.

This document discusses the importance of infection prevention and control practices in Ayurvedic hospitals. It notes that Ayurvedic hospitals treat patients similarly to allopathic hospitals by providing outdoor care, indoor care, pharmacy services, and surgical/bloodletting procedures. However, staff in Ayurvedic hospitals often show less interest in following infection control guidelines. The document emphasizes that all healthcare facilities, regardless of type, have a responsibility to implement standard practices like hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and environmental cleaning to prevent the spread of infections to patients and save lives. Proper training, monitoring, and documentation are needed to improve adherence to infection control guidelines in Ayurvedic hospitals.
The document discusses challenges related to employee recruitment and retention in the healthcare industry. It notes issues such as a shortage of primary care physicians, high staff turnover, and difficulties retaining employees. It recommends developing a training program to address these challenges by focusing on organization details, recruitment and retention strategies, stakeholder impacts, and suggested solutions to improve quality of care, access, and costs.
Change Implementation Plan for Combating Hospital-Acqu.docxsleeperharwell
Change Implementation Plan for Combating Hospital-Acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections, (HAIs) or nosocomial infections or health-care associated infections, are those infections that are contracted because of toxins or infections that exist in hospitals. Since one in ten people who are admitted in hospitals will contract as HAI, it is imperative that these institutions put in place various strategies that ensure that the cases of such infections happening are reduced, especially in the face of potential growth in the numbers of patients with HAIs as medical care becomes more complex and antibiotic resistance increases (Monegro, & Regunath, 2017). Hospital organizations, then, need to apportion adequate resources even as they identify and secure buy in from various stakeholders so that they can implement changes necessary for there to be reduced cases of hospital-acquired infections.
One of the critical stakeholders in implementing the plan to reduce the risk of HAIs in the hospital is the hospital personnel. Physicians, surgeons, nurses, and technical and janitorial staff in hospitals would need to be engaged so that they were aware of the need to maintain both hand hygiene and environmental hygiene. By emphasizing the need for cleaning when going in to handle patients and cleaning when coming from this task, as well as wearing sterile garments whenever required, these hospital personnel can prevent the spread of infections in a large way. And since there are certain types of microbial bacteria that can survive on environmental surfaces for months at a time, it is quite imperative to have hospital personnel remain aware of the need to maintain environmental hygiene. In doing so, infections that may be transmitted by having patients or hospital personnel touch surfaces with their skin only for these surfaces to be touched by others can be controlled (Mehta et al., 2014).
Hospital trustees and administrative staff must also be interested in implementing the plan to reduce HAIs. With their buy in, these stakeholders can be effective in ensuring an organizational culture of cleanliness and hygiene is not only instituted but also allowed to thrive so that no department lags behind in the support of an infection prevention program. Senior staff in the hospital can play a critical role in coordinating care, especially since some of the measures taken in the prevention of HAIs extend well beyond hand and environmental hygiene. Patients with certain infections may be required to be quarantined or grouped together so that they do not infect others. But when there is a breakdown of communication, departments may end up assuming that certain infection prevention or surgical preparation activities have been executed by other departments. When such activities are not timed or accountability is not assigned to specific departments, it is the result of a failure in coordination of care and communication, which can often be attributed to.

A Study to Assess the Knowledge and Practices of Hand Hygiene among Nursing S...ijtsrd
The document discusses a study that assessed the knowledge and practices of hand hygiene among nursing staff in different hospital departments in Uttar Pradesh, India. It conducted an observational study of 50 nurses to assess their hand hygiene practices during 308 opportunities, finding an overall compliance rate of 58%. It also administered questionnaires to 50 nurses to assess their reported hand hygiene compliance, which was higher at over 93.4%. Bachelor's degree nurses showed the highest compliance rates. The study concluded that there was a correlation between nurses' knowledge and hand hygiene practices, and that being too busy was the most commonly reported reason for non-compliance.
Workplace violence is a significant issue in healthcare organizations. It can include physical or psychological violence such as hitting, pushing, verbal abuse, bullying, and harassment. Sources of violence include physicians, patients, and family members. Factors that contribute to workplace violence are a history of violence, poor environmental design, understaffing, and lack of security and policies. The impact of violence includes medical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences for staff as well as decreased quality of care and increased costs for organizations. Management of violence involves clear policies, communication, training, addressing incidents immediately, and creating a culture where violence is not tolerated.
stress management - kims hospital mba project report Srikanth V
Stress management can be defined as interventions designed to reduce the impact of stressors in the workplace. These can have an individual focus, aimed at increasing an individual’s ability to cope with stressors. The goal of Stress Management is to manage the stress of everyday life among employees. Many different methods may be employed, such as bio-feedback, meditation and massage. Counselors work with individuals in order to determine what stress management program will work best for that person.
Work plays a critical role in the lives of individuals which has contributed to the phenomenon of stress for both individual employees and the organizations. Stress, at work, is one of the threats in providing a healthy platform of work to employees. The stress induced due to roles performed by individuals as employees at workplace, has been one of the most persuasive organizational stressors, the outcomes of which have been found to be costly to the organization. The previous studies in this area of research indicate that the role stress as a phenomenon has hardly been understood in its entirety and comprehensively in case of commercial banks particularly in the Indian context. The highly competitive banking industry has levied varied role requirements on employees resulting into stress.
Stress is something that happens in our daily lives and is usually associated with a particular event such as work, family or other responsibilities. There are many situations that we cannot control, but there are ways to control how we deal with certain situations. Effective stress management is something that our lives can go a little more smoothly. Stress management is as simple as taking a walk. It was been proven that physical activities would improve a person’s mental health, help with depression, and relieve the side effects of stress. This makes a person’s heart rate increase and will be more likely to be affected by stress. It is vital that stress management techniques are implemented into our daily lives. Coping with stress is an individualized task and one method over another may not be superior. A person that is stressed takes so much away from his or her health and performance levels.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
