¶ … Jones, 2006), a qualitative study, to (Humar, 2001), a quantitative study, both studies were conducted for the same problem of serious venous catheter-related infections. Both studies were conducted for the same purpose of determining effective methods for venous catheter-related infection prevention. And, both studies used theoretical research of review of previous studies of venous catheter-related infections. Both studies identified limitations in previous studies and (Humar, 2001) identified limitations in the present study.
Where (Jones, 2006) was focused on examining weaknesses and findings of previous studies compared to standard best practices in data collection, (Humar, 2001) was a randomized control trial that tested two antiseptic solutions to determine which one was the most effective at preventing infection in central venous catheter sites. The different designs caused different data analysis where (Humar, 2001) used a statistical analysis of data collected and (Jones, 2006) used an analytical analysis of the instruments used, techniques identified, and the findings of previous research...
This study showed no utilization for the nursing practice due to limitations of needing more clarity. On the other hand, (Jones, 2006) made clear recommendations for research reporting to show more clarity in reporting and consider more variables to define the particulars of the studies. This study showed utilization in enhanced standards in the future and more education on infection control.
The qualitative design is advantageous for systematic review into nature or qualities of observable behavior (Ethnography, Observational Research, and Narrative Inquiry, 2013). It uses triangulation to attempt to explain how social structures act and interact. The disadvantage is that it relies less on reliability, validity and generalization. For example, (Jones, 2006) observes procedures from previous literature to compare against standards, but does not rely on experimental elements of reliability, validity, or generalization in the study it is…

Infection Control Surgical site infections are a major issue for any hospital and the eradication of these events is the goal of hospitals and regulatory agencies. The Joint Commission completed a surveillance of the hospital and they gave specific advice regarding surgical site infection control and the results that they had gathered. This particular plan focuses on infection control because it a very critical area that can cause dire issues with
The central theme that is discussed is the importance of matching the patient and therapy correctly in order to facilitate the best possibility of positive treatment and healing. The article also provides an overview of mind - body therapy and the way that it relates to the mind's ability to aid the bodily functions in fighting diseases like cancer. There are various modes of this therapy, which can include methods

Failure to implement infection control precautions can lead to potential complications that include the spread of infection to otherwise healthy individuals within the ward or facility where the infection occurs and even out into the community through visitors who become infected (Banach, Bearman, Morgan & Munoz-Price, 2015). Thus, complications that arise from infection spreading may not be confined to the hospital or facility where they occur but can easily become
Infection Prevention and Control Proposal for Clinical Experience and Project For this project, I elected to experience the leadership role in a clinical practice with a family nurse practitioner (FNP). Towards this end, my area of specialty will be infection prevention and control in a short-term and long-term rehabilitation facility. The relevance of this clinical experience cannot be overstated when it comes to the further enhancement of my professional capabilities. As a matter
HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey offers hospitals and other healthcare centered organizations and facilities the ability to assess how patients perceive the quality of care. While hospitals have implemented this kind of survey in the past, HCAHPS allows the data to be displayed publically and provides national data to allow for valid comparisons across hospitals nationally, regionally, and locally. This data display adds pressure
