The objective of this capstone change project is to enhance health outcomes among the patients admitted to the medical-surgical unit. Urinary catheters are used among vulnerable patients set for or recovering from surgical procedures. These patients encounter psychological and physical issues, which negatively impact them and their families. Therefore, it is important to consider ethical practices in their care (Dietrich & Weisswange, 2019). The ethical principle of autonomy can be upheld by involving patients in their care and encouraging them to make decisions about their healthcare. The project will ensure social justice by ensuring that the nursing intervention used is safe, quality, cost-effective, and accessible to everyone.
Conclusion
This capstone change project focuses on the management of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) among medical-surgical patients. The objectives of the project include advancing the quality of life among patients, preventing incidences of CAUTIs and the associated implications, minimizing costs associated with CAUTIs, and enhancing catheter use. The project and objectives seek to advocate for autonomy and social justice by involving patients in their care and encouraging them to make decisions about their healthcare. Social justice will be promoted by ensuring that the nursing intervention used is safe, quality, cost-effective, and accessible to everyone.
