ANSWER 

Identify the topic and the nursing practice issue related to this topic. (This MUST involve a nursing practice issue.)

Topic: Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs)

Nurse practice issue: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) due to prolonged use of urinary catheter

Briefly describe your rationale for your topic selection. Include the scope of the issue/problem.

As a CVICU nurse, I have witnessed many cases of CAUTI and I believe prolonged use of urinary catheter is among the factors that contribute to increased cases in our facility. This is the main rationale for selecting this topic. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection involving any part of the urinary system, including urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidney (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).……..please click the icon below to purchase full answer at $10
