1.Qualitative and quantitative research should be used in research to strengthen understanding and the importance of the PICO question being studied. Quantitative data is objective and usually promotes solid facts within the research. This type of research can be counted r used and compared to a numeric scale. Quantitative research in opposition, cannot be calculated and often adds substance to the research that has been collected using the methods. Both are essential in interpreting how effective and accurate the conclusion to the PICO question is. Using both qualitative and quantitative research allows multiple perspectives and methods to be used and offers the advantage of including multiple concepts within the research. Including both within the conducted research serves as a checks and balances system where one type of data is balanced by the limitation of another. Qualitative and quantitative research methods are imperative to fully assess the outcomes of the studies being conducted. 

 

2.A hospital-acquired infection is the last thing a patient wants when going to a hospital for treatment. Nurses play an important role in preventing illness by adhering to evidence-based infection-control policies. This includes maintaining a clean healthcare environment, wearing personal protective equipment, using barrier precautions, and practicing proper handwashing. Although nurses have a lot on their plates, the time it takes to control infection is well worth it. Personal protective equipment (PPE) creates a physical barrier between microorganisms and the personnel. It provides protection by assisting in the prevention of microorganism contamination of hands, eyes, clothing, hair, and shoes, thereby preventing transmission to other patients and staff. Personal protective equipment includes gloves, eye protection, masks, an apron gown, shoe covers, and a cap/haircover. Personal protective equipment reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of contracting an infection. It is critical to use it effectively and at all times when in contact with the patients’ blood and bodily fluids. Staff must also understand that using personal protective equipment does not eliminate the need to practice basic infection control measures such as hand hygiene. Personal protective equipment should be selected based on the risk of exposure. Health care workers should assess their risk of exposure to blood, body fluids, excretions, or secretions and select personal protective equipment based on that assessment. Although it is believed that evidence-based practice (EBP) is critical to nursing practice, there are a number of barriers that prevent EBP from being implemented. Common barriers to implementation include a lack of EBP knowledge, limited skill sets, few mentors, little support, and limited resources.

3. Prior to this nursing program, I worked in EMS for several years and was lucky enough to be a member of a progressive organization that would perform quality improvement reviews and scope-of-practice trainings every three months, as well as work towards implementing evidence-based practices that would improve patient care and outcomes in the prehospital setting. Two significant barriers that many EMS departments continue to face are the deficiency of trained researchers focused on EMS practices and the paucity of funds to support EMS-related research. Other barriers include inconsistent data interpretations, incompatible database linkages, and ethical concerns regarding research and practices. A proficient approach that can help gather and corroborate evidence-based practices in the prehospital setting is developing a standardized data collection system for local, regional, state, and national levels; accumulating supportive EBP for prehospital medicine can potentially lead to collective practices and education across Fire and EMS departments. To overcome other barriers, I believe the Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration (ARCC) Model would be an acceptable assessment of organizational refinement for implementing evidence-based practices into prehospital emergency medicine. Utilizing this model can help detect potential barriers and strengths of EBP for prehospital emergency medicine and potentially display how these factors can be revised and executed contrarily in order to deliver high-quality patient care and enhance patient health outcomes prior to hospital arrival.
