How Oncology Nurses Can Address the Challenges of CLASBI Prevention
ONS Connect
|January 16, 2019
Summary
Oncology nurses play a vital role in preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Adherence to evidence-based interventions is crucial for effective CLABSI prevention in cancer care settings.
Area of Science:
- Oncology Nursing
- Infection Prevention
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a significant concern in oncology.
- Effective prevention strategies are essential to reduce patient morbidity and mortality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To emphasize the critical role of oncology nurses in CLABSI prevention.
- To highlight the importance of adhering to evidence-based interventions.
Main Methods:
- Review of current evidence-based guidelines for CLABSI prevention.
- Analysis of nursing practices in oncology settings.
Main Results:
- Vigilance in implementing evidence-based interventions is paramount.
- Consistent adherence reduces CLABSI rates.
Conclusions:
- Oncology nurses are key to successful CLABSI prevention.
- Strengthening adherence to evidence-based practices improves patient outcomes.

3.5K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
395
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

02:59Cancer Prevention
8.1K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

01:14Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison
1.3K
In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
