PICOT Assignment Analysis

146 Words1 Page

I know this week you had a hard time finding a guideline that suited your PICOT question. Although you couldn’t find an article reviewing alcohol-impregnated caps understanding how to prevent intravascular infections definitely relates to your topic. In your summary I wish you have discussed some of the major recommendations. Other than that I believe you did a great job on this assignment. One item I thought was interesting was how the guideline discussed umbilical catheters. I honestly had never heard of this before, so it was a learning experience for me. “Umbilical venous catheters should be removed as soon as possible when no longer needed, but can be used up to 14 days if managed aseptically” (National Guideline Clearinghouse, 2011).
