1. Introduction and 1 concisely written thesis statement (1 point).

   2. Describe your chosen role as an APN in your setting. (1 point).

   3. Differentiate among: research, Evidence Based Practice (EBP) and quality improvement. (3 points).

   4. Explain how and why EBP, research and Quality Improvement (QI) are important to your APN role and specifically how these terms are integrated/applied into your practice setting. (3 points). 

   5. Provide a specific example of how you know EBP or QI is applied (or not applied) in your setting. This is where you should be discussing your specific focus area or POI. (4 points). Include how the information is disseminated to your specific area of practice (i.e. nurses, multidisciplinary team members, doctors, etc.). Be sure to consider committees in charge of reviewing policies to make the changes and distribute the new information, the role of administration, educators, CNSs, etc. in the dissemination process. For example: if I am looking at CAUTIs as a POI, then how do I know that my facility uses EBP to make decision on how to treat, minimize CAUTIs? I would introduce my topic here and provide an example of how I know this to be true/untrue. 

   6. Summarize findings of the discussion. (1 point)

   7. References: you should include a minimum of 2 references in the initial post. The post should be no more than 750 words.

 

Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection (MRSA) is hospital acquired serious infection that concern the patient and the healthcare. The infection is serious because it is resistant to a multiple antibiotic and can lead to increase stay in hospital may be death. Population with high risk of MRSA infection are those with surgical wound. The medical surgical unit personnel providing care to the patient with MRSA must worn all the time an appropriate PPE before entering the MRSA room. PPE is required if the healthcare workers just observing and does not have intention to touch the patient.

MRSA spreads by contact. Healthcare workers are the main source of spreading infection from one to another patient because they are in contact with more than one patients. Wearing Personal Protective Equipment correctly and hand washing are the major method of prevention of spreading MRSA infection in the unit. The writer unit as existing policy in infection and control stated that all healthcare workers must exercise routine practice of hand hygiene and wear the required PPE appropriate for the task. The policy does not emphasize the importance of wearing PPE all the time before entering the room even if the healthcare provider is not touching the patient.

 For example, the social worker in unit came to talk to the patient with MRSA infection about discharge plan. She enters the room without putting the PPE. She stated that she did not touch the patient. She was in the room just for less than twenty minutes. Then went to the next patient did not have infection of MRSA infection. The unit is medical surgical unit has the high-risk population of MRSA infection such as surgical wound patient, elderly with chronic disease and low immunity, most the patient has intravenous lines. MRSA infection is very dangerous pathogen if enter the body via any open wound, it can cause infection that will result to long term hospitalization, rehospitalization, or death.
