(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
- Essential Question: How can nurses best protect themselves from infectious diseases?
- Answers: Proper hand hygiene, proper use of personal protective equipment, and vaccinations
- Best answer: Hand hygiene because hands contract a lot of germs that may cause infectious diseases be transmitted to person to person.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
- I came to this answer while doing research and talking to my mentors. I was looking up on how can nurses can protect themselves from infectious diseases. An article by Akanksha Jayanthi, talks about top 10 patient safety issues for 2015 and hand hygiene is one of them. Then I looked for more information through more articles and books why it was one of the patient safety issues.
(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
- It was hard for me to find books on my topic. I would ask my mentors if they still had any books on nursing and they didn't and go to the library and some of the books were checked out or didn't have the information that I was looking for. But I solved it by looking at some medical books for some information about infectious diseases and vaccines.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
- Two most significant sources that I used to answer my essential question is my mentors and a medical journal by Royal College of Nursing. My mentors were very helpful. They were always there when I needed some clarifications when I didn't get some of the medical terms that some of the articles had. The article by Royal College of Nursing because it explained things in a nurse's point of view.
