Annotation
|
The
Oxford University book highlights the problems with lying prostrate for long
periods of time while being in the hospital. As how it increases your chance
for sepsis, which is the widespread of bacteria throughout the entire body.
Commonly is Pneumonia in older patients whom are restricted to
the bed after surgery or other illness, especially if always lying prostrate
on their back. The author uses past examples and history to support the
well known fact of lying prostrate increasing the chance for infection.

Potential Quotes
|
“In
1846 when working at the Allgemeines Krankenhaus in Vienna, Semmelweiss noted
that the maternal mortality in the ward attended by students was far higher
than in that staffed by nurses. He suspected the difference was due to the
students coming directly from the dissection room and infecting the
parturient women they examined. When he enforced their thorough washing, the
maternal mortality fell from 9.9% to 1.3%.” showing the first time sepsis was
first truly noticed.

Assessment
|
This
is from the Oxford University which is a world renowned leading medical
university known for both its research and excellent care and so it lends
itself to be known as credible and worthy to be used as a supporting article.
|
Reflection
|
This
article talks about the negative effects of staying prostrate for long
periods of time in the hospital and the increase of infection that has been
confirmed. Which I will use to support my ideas for improvements in patient
care to help negate the effects of staying prostrate for long periods of time.
