Running head: EVIDENCE-BASED PROPOSAL Professional Research Project: Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) - Evidence-Based Proposal (Student`s Name) (Course Code/Number) (Name of Professor) (Date of Submission) Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI): Evidence-Based Proposal Abstract Urinary catheterization is considered as one of the most standard procedures carried out in hospitals, especially in cases of surgeries and other medical interventions. However, because of different reasons attributable to neglect or breaks in sterility, urinary catheterization also becomes a source of nosocomial infection. Indeed, even though the insertion of urinary catheters is considered as a sterile procedure, breaks in the sterility of the catheter system may sometimes bring different types of infections to the patient. In relation, one of the most common forms of nosocomial infection acquired from urinary catheter insertion is CAUTI, which stands for Catheter- Associated Urinary Tract Infection. The rise in the cases of CAUTI has continued to alarm concerned officials and healthcare providers. Therefore, this paper presented an in-depth discussion of the problem on CAUTI. This paper has been divided into five main parts, each of which discussed an aspect of evidence-based practice: problem-identification, solution description, implementation of interventions, evaluation o...
