Why is the nurse implementing actions to prevent the onset of catheter-related infections in a patient receiving care in the intensive care unit?
1. Statistics report that as many as one in five individuals who develop a catheter-related infection die from it.
2. Nosocomial catheter-related infections prolong hospitalization by an average of 4 days.
3. The increased cost of care due to the development of a blood-borne infection averages between $1,700 and $17,000.
4. Central venous catheters have about the same rate of infection as peripherally inserted catheters.
