Question

Area of discovery #2: Amniocentesis for pregnant women with concems or risks for Down's syndrome comes with certain risks to the pregnancy and some find the procedure frightening or uncomfortable. It also generally produces results later than desired in the pregnancy, which does not facilitate decision making for those who might consider termination of pregnancy. The nurses in the ambulatory perinatal clinic were aware that nuchal translucency ultrasound plus serum biochemistry testing could be done but did not know how it could compare to the results of conventional amniocentesis for diagnosis of Down's syndrome. P Statement: Area of discovery #3: The ICU performs daily bathing with chlorhexidine(CHG) impregnated cloths to help prevent central line infections. You work on a busy OB unit where the c-section patients have a slightly higher than expected rate of surgical site infections. You wonder if adopting the CHG bath would help improve the surgical site infection rates.

Answer 1

Q. No. 1. Answer :

P means patient : here the patients are pregnant women.

I means interventions : here performing the Amniocentesis, to find out the down syndrome risk factor during pregnancy.

C means Comparision : here Nuckle Translucency, Ultrasound plus serum biochemistry testings are the comparative to the Amniocentesis.

O means outcome : through by doing these tests we can can find out the down syndrome risk factor during pregnancy.

T means time : here appropriate time period to test Amniocentesis is the second trimester of pregnancy.

Q. No. 2. Answer :

P means patient : here the patients are C section patients and ICU patients.

I means interventions :

* giving bath daily with chlorhexidine impregnated cloths for ICU patients to prevent central line infections.

C means comparator : here than ICU patients the OB C section patients are having higher rate of infections at surgical site.

Because for ICU patients they are using chlorhexidine impregnated dressing.

O means outcome : here the out come is by using the chlorhexidine there is a reduction of infection rates, and condition is improving.

T means Time : they are performing daily bathing during in ICU admission.
