and linked to all people. Over the recent past, there have been an increase in transmission of
different infections in the process of treating other conditions. One of the common illnesses
is the catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). A urinary tract infection refers to
any infection within any part of the urinary system such as the bladder, urethra, ureters and
kidney. A catheter refers to the tube that is inserted into the patient’s bladder through the
urethra so as to drain urine. According to past researches, about 9% of catheterized patients
are likely to contract the infection. However, it is important to note that each hospital has an
expected risk level of CAUTI infections and it would be penalized in case it have more cases
of CAUTI infections than expected. The issue of increased CAUTI infections is significant to
nursing especially for the reason that it affects the healthiness of an individual, while
nursing aims at ensuring high quality healthiness for patients within a health facility
(McClusky, 2018). RESEARCH CRITIQUE ROUGH DRAFT II 2ORDER NOW FOR
CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSThe purpose of this paper is to
discuss………….This paper aims at studying the issue of CAUTI infections by reviewing two
quantitative articles relating to this issue. Article 1 is entitled “Quantitative Results of a
National Intervention to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract
Infection: A pre-post Observational Study.” Article 2 is entitled “Avoiding inappropriate
urinary catheter use and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI): a pre-post
control intervention study.” The paper aims at providing relevant information about this
health issue that would reduce the prevalence of the health issue based on the findings of
the two research articles. The purpose is to establish ways of preventing the transmission of
CAUTI infections in the course of a treatment. The research questions are: Comment by June
Helbig: A lot of information should be cited and referenced.1. What is the impact of a
multimodal initiative on CAUTI in healthcare facilities with high tendency for hospital-

2. transmitted infections?2. How can the utilization rate of In-dwelling catheter (IDC) get
lessened to reduce occurrence of inappropriate urinary catheterization and the period
through which a patient is catheterized?How the articles the nursing practice issueThe
two articles are related to the nursing practices in different ways. This is mainly evident for
the fact that they aim at establishing the solution for the CAUTI infections. The PICOT
question for the study is “In the Management of CAUTI patients (P), how effective is staff
education and regular monitoring of CAUTI cases (I) compared to maintenance of a closed
urinary drainage system (C) in preventing the development of CAUTIs (O) for the period of
hospital stay (T)?” Article 1 relates to the PICOT question especially in the sense that it
works towards analyzing the impact of a multimodal initiative on Catheter-associated
urinary tract infections within healthcare facilities with high burden of healthcare
associated infections. On the other hand, article 2 also relates to the PICOT question in that
it analyzes methods through which the utilization rates of IDC would get lessened through
reducing inappropriate urinary catheterization and duration of catheterization. The two
articles therefore tend to relate to the nursing practices directly. The reason is that nursing
involves ensuring high quality healthcare services for all the patients who visit the
particular healthcare facilities. Hence, by finding a way of reducing the transmission rates of
CAUTI infection for the entire period when a patient is catheterized within a healthcare
institution, this improves the quality of services they get. Hence, it would be imperative to
conclude that the articles are related to nursing practice issue (Meddings .et.al, 2019).
