Mrs. Jackson is a frail elderly woman who presents to the Emergency Department with a fall and an injured hip. During her assessment, the local hospital’s policy of screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is initiated. In addition to confirming a hip fracture, Mrs. Jackson is now “flagged” as a MRSA carrier. Her hospital’s isolation and contact precaution protocols are swiftly implemented. Along her journey to fix her hip, Mrs. Jackson experiences delays in getting a hospital

Evidence Based Practice Paper Evidence-based practice uses current research and clinical judgment to provide interventions and care for patients (Kelly, 2012). It is important for nurses and all healthcare team members to be up to date on current practices so patients can receive evidence-based interventions that improve clinical outcomes. According to Kelly (2012), almost half of patients that receive care, receive interventions that are not based on evidence which can ultimately compromise the
Abstract This paper explores ways in which hospitals and people in general prevent and control infectious diseases. There are five articles that will be examined throughout the paper that provide a wide variety of strategies to help control and prevent infection within hospitals worldwide. Four out of the five of these articles go into depth about preventing a hospital-acquired infection during a patient’s hospital stay. Many of the articles covered in this paper show how hospitals have
transpired in the development and research of new antimicrobial treatments to deal with the increasing threat. Despite recent attempts by US Congress in 2005 to introduce legislation that seemed to spotlight weaknesses with pharmaceutical investments in antimicrobial research, the legislation was not enacted. In the meantime, more microorganisms continue to become more resistant to treatments, and the majority of the public are unaware of this detrimental trend. In this paper I will discuss how the current
