b'Health Acquired Infections Related to Foley Catheter PlacementJamie Croff, Ricardo Gonzalez, LaKeisha Logan, and Koral Nemetz, School of Nursing Faculty Sponsor: Denise Sauls, MSN, Med, RN, School of NursingAccording to the National Center of Biotechnology Information, 22% of geriatric patients have the risk of developing a healthcare-associated infection, specifically related to the placement of Foley catheters. The research questions was, for older adults does the placement of Foley catheters increase the risk of health acquired infections. Although current research is vast on hospital acquired infections, multiple changes in the way care is given creates a lack of adequate information in solving the issue. We will gather various literary journals, to better understand the correlation between urinary tract infections and how they are contracted by the geriatric populations in the hospital setting. We created a practice protocol to address the issue of catheter related urinary tract infections.Drug Use in New Nurses Under StressAustin Mangelsdorf, Deven Bordelon, Oshana Barron, and Papa Baidoo, School of NursingFaculty Sponsor: Deborah Sauls MSN, RN, CNL, School of NursingIn 2018, Cidambi, estimated that about ten percent of nurses are dependent on alcohol and other drugs, which can affect patient safety. The research question is, for new nurses, how does stress increase the risk of drug use? There needs to be further research pertaining to this subject in order to understand its the immense impact it has on patient care. We are conducting a literature review of eight articles using CINAHL to further explore this issue. It is necessary to investigate how stress on new nurses may contribute to substance abuse. TA practice protocol has been written to manage stress to reduce the risk of developing drug and alcohol abuse. 58'
