modeling
At Emerging Infections Program sites in 10 states, we recruited
up to 25 hospitals in each site area, prioritizing hospitals that
had participated in the 2011 survey.
Random samples of patients in acute care locations were
selected from hospitals’ morning censuses on the survey date
with the use of the method that had been used in the 2011
survey
Trained staff of the Emerging Infections Program sites reviewed
medical records on the survey date or retrospectively to collect
basic demographic and clinical data.
In 2015, a total of 12,299 patients in 199 hospitals were
surveyed, as compared with 11,282 patients in 183 hospitals in
2011. Pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections and surgical-site
infections were the most common health care–associated
infections.

The CDC determined the survey to be a non-research activity.
Point-prevalence surveys of health care–associated infections in
health care settings complement location- or infection-specific

A survey that was carried out in the United States in 2011
indicated that 4% of patients who are hospitalized have health-
care infections. The survey was conducted again in 2015 to
evaluate the prevalence of the infections during a period when
there was great national attention to prevent them. Twenty-five
hospitals in the Emerging Infections Program sites in 10 states
were utilized and those that engaged in the 2011 survey were
prioritized. Every health care facility chose a day when a
random sample of patients was selected for assessment.
Individuals who are trained evaluated their medical records
based on the definitions of health care associated infections
developed in 2011. IN 2015, 12,299 patients were assessed
compared to 11,228 that were assessed in 2011. This study
concluded that the number of health care-associated infections
in 2015 was lower than those identified in 2011. To continue
with this progress, it is important to prioritize on safely
utilizing equipment and product.

Postcesarean wound infection:
prevalence, impact, prevention, and management challenges.
International journal of women's health, 9, 81.
Surgical site infection is a very common complication that
develops after cesarean section. It has both physical and
emotional consequences to the mother and is a huge financial
burden to the healthcare system. There is an increase in the
global cesarean section rate therefore surgical site infections are
expected to increase. Wound dressing is one of the preventative
strategies that can be utilized in preventing infections. Another
strategy is skin closure. A meta-analysis that was conducted

recently indicated that suture is more effective compared to
staples in decreasing the incidence of wound separations.

Surgical site infections (SSI) result to post-surgical mortality
and morbidity and can be a key indicator of the quality of the
surgical process. This study aimed at assessing post-operative
SSI after a caesarian section (CS) has been conducted. The
study utilized data from emergency obstetric programs from
three countries which were Sierra Leone, Burundi and
Democratic Republic of Congo. The SSI prevalence for the
1,276 women who underwent CS was 7.3%. The median stay for
the women who developed SSI was 21 days compared to 7 days
of the women who didn’t have SSI. Some of the risk factors
associated with SSI include premature membrane rupture,
neonatal death and young age. The study concluded that it
incidents of SSI can be reduced through utilizing perioperative
antibiotics, sterilizing equipment and using clean water. Simple
data collection tools should be very helpful for policy makers to
assess the quality of control assurance surgical programs in
various nations.

Periprosthetic joint infection. The Lancet, 387(10016), 386-394.
Periprosthetic joint infections are a complication that develops
after arthroplasty. The rise in the prevalence of diseases such as
diabetes and obesity has led to an increase of the rate of
periprosthetic joint infections. In an attempt to address this
problem, various preventive measures have been implemented.
The preventive measures include skin decontamination and
glycaemic control. Surgical management practices with a great
emphasis on equipment and products have also been refined.
This article concludes that prosthetic joint infection can be
efficiently managed with various great preventive measures and

treatment options.

epidemiology, 36(10), 1208-1214.
Healthcare-associated infections are greater in low and middle
income nations compared to higher income nations. This leads
to greater patient mortality and morbidity and is a financial
burden to the healthcare system. Six international sites located
in various countries were utilized to acquire data for this study.
The countries include Nepal, South Africa, Greece, Hungary,
India, Nepal and Argentina. The study concluded that adhering
to the set infection control practices is a great way of reducing
the rate of health-associated infections. Other improvement
opportunities exist and they include antibiotic stewardship and
utilizing surgical instrument process. In addition, hand hygiene
must be observed while handling patients.

airflow ventilation on surgical site infections: a systematic
review and meta-analysis. The Lancet Infectious Diseases,
17(5), 553-561.
The following study compares laminar airflow ventilation and
conventional ventilation and evaluates their efficiency in
decreasing the risk of surgical site infections. Information was
acquired from Medline, Embase and the medical databases of
WHO. 1947 records were utilized in this study. Data that was
acquired from two investigators was not conclusive therefore
more discussion was conducted. According to the results
obtained from this study, there is no evidence that supports that
laminar airflow is more efficient compared to conventional
turbulent ventilation in reducing the risk of SSIs in abdominal
surgery and total hip. Decision makers and the hospital
management should therefore not consider laminar airflow as an
efficient strategy of decreasing the risk of SSIs. This means that

the equipment should not be put in the operating rooms since
this is just a financial burden to the organization that does not
reduce SSIs’s risk.

EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCT SAFETY
Equipment and Product Safety
Equipment and Product Safety in Perioperative Nursing
People who work in the departments of product and equipment
evaluation and purchasing process plays a crucial role in the
healthcare facility as well as ensuring the safety of patients is
protected. Healthcare facility equipment and products are
sourced from different suppliers. Thus, it is a sensitive sector
that requires a well-structured procuring and evaluation process
to reduce the expenses of reimbursements and risks patients are
exposed to when faulty tools are used. Johanna Newman argues
that perioperative nurses should be trained and understands the
process involved when evaluating the safeness of a product,
efficiency, effectiveness, cost, and environmental concern since
they act as patent’s advocate (2015). Therefore, my
perioperative PICO(T) question will be based on surgical site
infections. This is a sensitive unit that requires a physician to
use sterilized products and equipment to maintain proper
handling and patient safety in the operating room. My PICO(T)
question would look as follows:
P- Perioperative patients in the cardiovascular operating room
I- Perioperative temperature management using a warming

blanket
C- Patients receive no treatment to prevent hypothermia
O- Patients with warming blankets will have a decrease in
surgical site infections
T- The study will take place for one year
A recent report released by Johanna Newman (2015) shows that
more than 500,000 surgical site infections are recorded every
year in a general hospital in the U.S., U.S hospital spends an
average of $10 billion on managing hospital-acquired diseases.
14-16% out of the reported cases of hospital-acquired infections
is as a result of surgical site infections. Despite surgical site
infections affecting patient safety and overall health, it also
leads to instances of high mortality rate, ballooning medical
bills, a more extended stay in the facility, as well as frequent
readmissions. The surgical mortality rate of about 3% is seen in
patients who acquire surgical site infections from the surgical
room. Therefore, it can be understood that surgical site
infections is a real problem in our healthcare facilities.

Equipment and Product Safety

The topic I have chosen is Equipment and product safety, which
is majorly related to perioperative nursing. Perioperative
nursing entails working with patients who are undergoing
operative procedures. Perioperative nurses collaboratively work
with surgeons and anesthesiologists to ensure improved patient
outcomes. The safety of medical products and equipment lays
the foundation for successfully undergoing operative procedures
for patients. Lack of safe equipment and products may lead to
the death of a patient.
My Interest and Purpose
I choose the topic because it greatly affects most people
globally. Medical errors, which occur in health care facilities,
account for more than 100,000 individuals who die annually.
The medical errors entail surgical devices, equipment’s and
systems failure. The purpose of this topic is to analyze the
impact of equipment and product safety on patient safety and
identify the role of nurses in ensuring equipment’s and products
are safe for patients.
Background and significance
By extensively researching the topic at hand, I will be able to
analyze the safety of medical products and equipment, which
include beddings. In addition, I will be able to understand the
three pillars, which are used as the basis for the safety of
medical products. The pillars include identifying mistakes,
updating standards and training (Ojuka, 2019).
Relationship between Research & Evidence-based practice
I will conduct my research through both qualitative and
quantitative methodologies in order to come up with new
knowledge. Evidence based practice utilizes the best clinical
evidence which comes from research. The research may be
utilized by nurses to understand the risks and effectiveness of
medical equipment and products. This topic has not been greatly
researched therefore it will greatly contribute to evidence based
practice.

NUR 440 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The world of professional nursing practice and health policy is
ever-evolving to meet the new dynamics of care needs in every
setting. As a registered nurse, you
are accountable and responsible for making decisions that are
consistent with safe, competent, and ethical practice on a daily
basis. You also face a variety of
complex issues that impact the delivery of your nursing care.

A professional practice issue is any issue or situation that either
compromises client care/service by placing a client at risk, or
affects a nurse’s ability to provide
care/service consistent with standards and guidelines, and
agency or organization policies or procedures.
For this final project, you will develop an integrative review of
literature about a clinical problem or issue of your choosing
encountered in nursing practice. The
purpose of an integrative review of literature assignment is to
assist in preparing a scholarly paper that systematically
collects, classifies, and analyzes a body of
research evidence about a clinical topic in order to make
evidence-based practice recommendations for a practice change.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
One, Two, Four, and Five. The final product will be submitted
in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
