Module 4: Case Scenario
After you’ve chosen your case scenario – please find two articles that help to answer the clinical question. In two paragraphs, discuss the evidence in relation to the question. Post the article link or in PDF form. What do the articles say? How do they help answer the question? How do they each answer the question? Are the articles conflicting or do they come to the same conclusion? What strengths/limitations are there?
CASE SCENARIO: Nursing
You are the nurse in charge of a busy intensive care unit at a regional general hospital. An infection control audit has identified a high number of patients diagnosed with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) on your unit during the previous 12 months. You recently attended a critical care conference and heard a number of nurses talking about the role of oral care in preventing VAP and wonder whether an oral care policy would reduce the incidence of VAP in critically ill ventilated patients on your unit. You decide to search for research to answer your question with the aim of presenting the findings to the staff at the next unit meeting.
CLINICAL QUESTION: Does regular oral care reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in critically ill adult patients?
