What This Document Is
This is a pre-planning assignment for Nursing Process I (NUR 1519) at Oklahoma City Community College, focused on infection control and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). It’s designed to be completed *before* a clinical session and submitted to the clinical faculty. Successful completion is required to attend clinical; failure to submit results in a clinical absence.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is for students preparing for clinical rotations. It ensures a baseline understanding of infection control principles and MDROs before direct patient care. It fulfills Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN) pre-planning clinical hour requirements.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a preparatory exercise, not a comprehensive guide to infection control. It requires students to utilize their course textbooks and external resources for complete answers. It does not provide instruction on *how* to implement infection control measures, only assesses existing knowledge.
What This Document Provides
The full assignment includes four questions: a definition and prevalence of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), identification of high-risk patients for hospital-acquired infections, a definition of MDROs with examples based on a CDC document, and information about MRSA including its full name and diagnostic methods. This preview only provides the questions themselves and excerpts from the source materials used to answer them.
