Step 1 – Choose 2 skills
•Patient immobilisation in the acute care setting
•Invasive procedures
•Aseptic technique
•Triage clinical assessment
•Safe administration practices in acute care setting
Step 2 – Find evidence
•Library data bases
•Google scholar
•Policy documents
•NSW Health websites
Step 3 – Find a policy or guideline
•NSW Health policy
•NSW Health websites
•Specialist websites for current guidelines
•Individual hospital policies
Step 4 - Use the Marking Algorithm
( i.e. explained below step by step. )
Assignment description.
Need APA 7th referencing. Have to work in order to achieve marks. (the one I have provided. Need evidence based resource. Two topics needed to be done separately following the same algorithm and same word count.
Select two clinical skills/procedures/practices from the list below.
For each:
Outline and discuss
Academic literacy = correct use of evidence, grammar, paragraphing
Use at least 2 research article for each skill
Ensure that you have discussed at least two research articles:
Make a statement reflecting on your opinion of if these recommendations would work in the real clinical setting
Identify your policy
Include the hyperlink in your text in brackets or in the sentence
Clearly identify –
Population
Dates updated and due for review
Identify if the policy includes the recommendations identified in the research you discussed in question 3.
The word count provided is a guide only. The total word count expectation is 1600 words plus 10%. This includes subheadings and in-text referencing but not the reference list. Note: marking will not continue beyond 1760 words.
Assessment
The aseptic technique (eg. Central Venous Access Device management) e.g. change cap.
Aseptic technique is defined as how in the practices and the procedures, often there can be the identified ways to prevent the contamination from pathogens. The practice is best applied to minimize the risk of infection. The use is observed in the surgery rooms, clinics, outpatient care centers, and other health care settings.
Sterile Technique Adverse Event
While doing the sterile technique, the adverse event can be getting infected with healthcare infection. While using the sterile technique, the main focus is on the prevention of microbial contamination. To use the sterile technique it is dependent on the specific actions, and using the activities to prevent contamination that can be used to overcome the invasive procedure...
The most common adverse event would be getting HAI infection and as per the evidence research, if the pieces of equipment are not sterilized, the probability to affect is 67% of the patients with the HAI. It can lead to multiple infections infecting different organs and it is due to the microbes present can contaminate and impact the other body organs. It occurs when there is a failure to take precautionary measures.
Surgical Aseptic Technique Adverse Event
The surgical Ascetic technique uses the sterile technique at the times of the surgery and it is used in the procedure to assist, kill and even help to control microbial contamination leading to sterility at the times of invasive procedures. Sterilization can be used during the stages of precaution, prevention and even killing any possible contaminated equipment. The adverse event can be infection spreading to the multiple organs, if not treated can cause more deterioration and can lead to death. The occurrence rate during the surgical ascetic technique is 50% as per the evidence drawn from the SA health government. It can occur during the stage of operation procedures and by accidentally using the wrong infected unsterilized equipment.
As per the research of Team (2019), , it is important to use the standardized practices and the processes of sterile technique during the stages of the microbial contamination. The sterile technique would be used to overcome the specific actions and also to prevent the contamination which would be part of the invasive procedure. Depending on the sterile technique it is important to prepare, perform, or assist with invasive procedures that would help to prevent the microbial contamination at the time of the invasive procedures.
