Scholarly Activity Summary: Healthcare Associated Infections
Overview
When I was undertaking my BSN program, I attended a scholarly activity that essentially examined the healthcare associated infections, otherwise referred to as the HAI. According to research, healthcare associated infections are amongst the most dangerous public health issues that the medical world currently grapples with. In this seminar, the entire healthcare professionals from doctors to nurses to other supporting staff participated wherein the emerging issues and the current state of efforts to combat the matter were comprehensively presented by the organizers. As a future nurse, the event was beneficial to me in multifaceted ways. For instance, I learnt about the need to give priority to sterilization and disinfection techniques in our public hospital and the manner in which to conduct them effectively. Also, the seminar allowed me to augment he theoretical knowledge that I had acquired in class with the firs-hand experience of experienced doctors, and nurses who presented. Further, there was a presentation regarding the mortality and morbidity rates due to the HAIs that allowed me to gain the statistical knowledge concerning the matter, underpinning the severity of the HAI situation in our public hospitals.
Problem
At least 7% at minimum and 10% at maximum of sick persons worldwide who get admitted to acute care sections in hospital set-ups acquire HAIs (Fracaro, Sicking, Voorhees, & Kanopy, 2016). The HAIs expose patients to extra morbidity and mortality risks. The above statistics possess a big problem to various nations. The existence of such levels of HAIs stretches the already limited resources of not only hospitals but countries as well (Dixon & CDC, 2011). Therefore, the participation of a SNP prepared nurse in such activity is paramount as it has immense benefit. Through such a seminar, a nurse acquires knowledge that may help them institute measures that may reduce the occurrence of the healthcare-associated infection, which may reduce the mortality and morbidity rates associated with it. Therefore, the seminar provided the solutions that were necessary to reduce the devastating effects of HAI, specifically nosocomial infections.
Solution
The solution to the above problem would entail HAI surveillance by healthcare facilities in the country. These facilities should collect standardized data regarding the issue and then utilize the statistics to trace the internal performance as well as make comparison with the international and national benchmarks.
Opportunity
The seminar captured a very important opportunity for me as a DNP nurse. Participating in the program will help me discover the ways in which the HAIs can be tracked in hospitals and get knowledge regarding the statistical aspect of the matter. Additionally, participating in the seminar will expose me to best-practices that are undertaken by numerous hospitals not only in the country but in the world overall.
Program Competencies Addressed
During the seminar, several nursing competencies were addressed as follows:
- Professional behavior-The presentations placed emphasis on ensuring professional behaviors override everything else so as to combat the HAI.
- Communication skills were enhanced
- Collaboration between various workforce within an intensive care unit setting was also emphasized
- Clinical decision-making was also addressed with respect to HAI

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
