Please respond to this post Evidence-based practice

Please respond to this post Evidence-based practice has changed the healthcare team massively. One area EBP has changed nursing care in the 20th century is infection control. A patient who comes to the hospital is sick and needs care, acquiring a nosocomial infection is putting the patient further back into their sickness. Hospital-acquired infection is caused by several things. Nurses play a big role in the prevention process. The number of HAI has reduced drastically since the introduction of evidence-based practice. Adhering to policies will help to continue to reduce the number of HAI acquired during hospital stays. Continued exercising of hand washing in warm water for at least 20 seconds, creating timely infection control information in charts and on the door when patients are to be placed in isolation either on contact or droplet forms of isolation. Constant education on infection control and on the use of personal protective equipment. Every time anyone is entering the isolation rooms; they must wear the PPEs provided out of the room and wash their hands when exiting the room. Ensuring that housekeeping is disinfecting all surfaces. Non-patient areas also must be constantly cleaned since healthcare worker visits these places and then come back to the floor. Ensuring proper sanitation of all laundry materials and kitchen utensils. “In the late 1800s the use of rubber gloves was introduced by William Halsted (1891), and physicians began practicing antiseptic and asepsis techniques as the germ theory of infection was widely accepted” (Judd & Sitzman, 2014). Roughly 1.7 million healthcare-associated infections are reported every year in the United States of America (Smith et al., 2012). The evidence-based practice had helped in reducing these numbers since the beginning of the 20th century. Many types of infection spread around in the 80s due to crowded wards which were poorly ventilated and poorly cleaned. Evidence-based practice revolutionized the way healthcare has been delivered and it has been a blessing.
