Question

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of XXXXXXXXXXwords, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

Evidence-based solution

Identification of Clinical Problem Resulting into Positive Patient Outcomes
Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) needs to be considered as one of the most common infections, which an individual might suffer from in a hospital. It would be essential to understand that the use of indwelling catheters has been identified as one of the most common causes of this infection. 
This is majorly because indwelling catheter is a tube like apparatus, which is inserted into the urethra in order to facilitate the drainage of bladder. Therefore, it is evident that individuals or patients, which had underwent some sort of surgery and are unable to control their bladder, are at a higher risk of CAUTI. Infection causing agents such as bacteria and fungi might enter the urinary tract through catheter.
Catheter might be contaminated before the use or might get contaminated upon insertion, non-frequent emptying of the drainage bag, backward flow of urine from the catheter bag into the bladder, improper cleaning of the catheter tube and much more are some of the potential ways, which could lead to contamination of catheter; thus, facilitating CAUTI. Use of antibiotics is one of the most effective treatments for CAUTI; however, other alternative methods can also be used to prevent the infection, which is discussed below.
