Discussion of the PICOT

In patients with central line devices (P), the implementation or improvement of a nurse-led vascular access team (I) compared to the involvement of intensive care physicians (C) will result in a decreased occurrence of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in the intensive care unit (O) within a two-month timeframe (T).

Suggestions for the topic

The instructor has asked for the incorporation of 12-15 articles published within the last 4 years. It is important to note that Assessment 2 should provide a comprehensive explanation of the PICOT. In composing the literature review, it is imperative to focus on peer-reviewed research while excluding any references to NIH or CDC. To ensure a successful outcome in the assessments, it is crucial to adhere to the grading rubric meticulously.
