    Tube C Case Study Answers

    The aseptically inoculate nutrient broth tubes A and B did not have any microbes inoculated into the tubes so it should not have been cloudy and that was what was seen. Tube C should have been cloudy because it had E. coli inoculated into the nutrient broth and that was also seen. A simple streak was also performed and it looks has if the loop went over previous streaks which should not have been done. A complex streak was also done. No colonies grew towards the end of the streak, this could be due to the inoculation loop being to hot and incinerating the bacteria cells, meaning the loop should have had more time in order to properly cool down.…

    Root Cause Analysis, Change Theory, FMEA, and Nursing Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

    A root cause analysis (RCA) is an essential tool that can be used to examine and understand the ways in which systems fail as well as discuss those specific failures that led to a specific adverse event and potentially implement steps or behaviors to prevent that event from happening in the future (Ogrinc & Huber, 2013). In the case study presented, a number of system failures may have contributed to the patient outcome. As such, an RCA of the case study would help determine those specific failures and possibly ensure that this event would not happen in the future. Additionally, it is imperative to the process that four questions are answered: What happened? Why did it happen? What are we going to do to prevent it from happening again? How will we know that the changes we make will actually improve the safety of the system? (Ogrinc & Huber, 2013).…

    Urinary Catheterization: A Case Study

    Urinary catheterization is needed to ensure that the drainage of urine is adequate and to preserve kidney function (Smeltzer, 2010). It is also performed in order to achieve the following: relieve obstruction, assist with drainage in the postoperative patient, provides the ability to monitor urine output accurately, allows for drainage in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and in patient with urinary retention, and prevents leakage in patients with pressure ulcers (Smeltzer, 2010). Catherization is estimated to have begun around 300 AD or even earlier (Herter, et al, 2010). An indwelling catheter is one in which the catheter is held in place in the bladder with the use of an inflated balloon (Smeltzer, 2010). Urine is emptied through the catheter to a drainage bag, where it accumulates until it is emptied (Smeltzer, 2010).…

    Pdsa Cycle

    Unfortunately Emergency Departments have little control over the amount and type of patients arriving in their hospitals. Many facilities are experiencing increased wait times and overflowing hallways with patients who have been admitted to the emergency department. These are increasingly troublesome issues that result from increased patient demand at a point in time when the number of emergency departments has declined and hospital inpatient capacity has decreased as well. This is why managing the flow of patients through their care is vital in preventing patient crowding, patient safety issues and quality of care.…
