Nurses play a critical role in the prevention and management of urinary tract infections (UTIs). As the fifth most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI), urinary tract infections (UTIs) are not only prevalent but are also epidemiologically significant across all healthcare settings. To aid in lowering these infection rates, nurses must garner the knowledge needed to perform high-quality, evidenced-based nursing care to their patients.

Course Details

Overview

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) continue to attract clinical attention as one of the world's most prevalent infections. Currently, UTIs are tracked as the fifth most common type of healthcare-associated infection (HAI), with the National Healthcare Safety Network estimating that 75% of these are related to urinary catheterization- also known as CAUTIs. Due to the epidemiologic significance of these infections across all healthcare settings, and their status as a nursing- sensitive quality indicator, it is imperative that nurses learn to manage and prevent healthcare-associated UTIs. Through evidence-based, high-quality nursing care, you, the nurses, will be able to contribute significantly to the UTIs prevalence and the subsequent prevention efforts.

Key Learning Outcomes

  1. Explain urinary tract infection (UTI) pathophysiology and risk factors.
  2. Describe UTI diagnostic criteria, the catheter- associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) preventon bundle, and treatments for UTI.
  3. Describe nursing implications related to UTI prevention.
