Antibiotics back as alternative for appendicitisOther Mother
Scientists are challenging the traditional view that appendicitis always requires immediate surgery. Some studies show that antibiotics may cure around 70% of appendicitis cases and avoid the need for surgery. Doctors are planning a large clinical trial to further compare outcomes of antibiotics versus surgery for appendicitis. There is interest in determining if antibiotics could provide an effective alternative treatment at a lower cost than surgery. However, some surgeons remain cautious about replacing the standard 30-minute appendectomy that permanently cures patients.

About
Bloodstream
Infections:
Germs can invade the
body through cuts or
breaks in the skin,
resulting in serious
infection that’s
carried through the
body in the
bloodstream.
Risk Factors:
Use of a tube and
bag system called
an “IV” or a “central
line” to deliver
fluids because the
skin has to be
broken for these
lines to be inserted.
24
Use this Checklist to
Help Prevent Bloodstream Infection
P When a central line is inserted, ask: “Are you using a
central line bundle?"
P Watch to make sure that nurses and doctors always:
I Wash their hands thoroughly before touching your
loved one
I Use sterile instruments and supplies
I Sterilize the skin
I Choose the safest spot
Ask, “Why?” if groin is chosen
I Use a clean sheet to drape your loved one's body
I Wear a mask
I Cover the area with a sterile pad
P Make sure any openings in the skin are kept covered at
all times.

Use this Checklist to
Help Prevent a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)*
P Every day, ask if the Foley catheter can be removed.
P When no longer needed, ask the doctor for a written
order to take it out.
I If not taken out as ordered, politely remind at every
shift change until the tube and bag are removed from
your loved one’s body.
P Ask about the cleaning plan (daily is ideal).
P To prevent urine from going back into your loved one’s
body, keep an eye on the tube for kinks and tangles, and
straighten them.
I Make sure the bag hangs below your loved one’s
stomach area so urine can’t back up the tube.
P Make sure the bag is replaced when full.

About Urinary
Tract Infections
A urinary tract
infection (UTI) can
develop when germs
enter the body
through a plastic tube
used to drain urine.
The bladder, kidneys
and urethra can all be
infected. (*This
infection is also called
a CAUTI for Catheter
Associated Urinary
Tract Infection.)
Risk Factors::
Use of plastic tube
and bag system for
urine collection
(called a “Foley”
catheter)

100% of users surveyed say they would recommend Safe & Sound checklists to friends and family.
“Since my husband and I are both in our
middle 80's, probably one of us will be in the
hospital sometime.
I carefully went through the checklists…
realizing that these records would be very
helpful!!
It will bring comfort and peace.”

Nursing’s Glass Ceiling
(Voting Rights Act Needed!)
CNOs are often part of the senior leadership team, but a 2011study of 8
hospitals by the National Center for Healthcare Leadership revealed they
were not voting members of any of the boards (although they had active
board agenda presence) and
The CNO as a senior team member was apparent in driving clinical projects,
but leadership in setting quality and patient safety goals was not as clear
