Nurse Kristie Rudzinski oversleeps and has barely enough time to
dress and get to work on time. She decides to wait until she gets
to the hospital to change the adhesive bandage on the finger she
cut while fixing dinner last night. When she arrives at work she
hears a patient calling for help. No one else is there, so she
immediately goes to the patient’s room. On entering, Kristie
discovers that the patient’s IV has become disconnected and blood
is running from the patient’s vein onto the linens. Without delay,
she is at the bedside and solves the problem by reconnecting the
tubing. The patient is very grateful for her prompt assistance.
Kristie leaves the room very pleased that she was able to help,
especially because this is a patient she has cared for many times.
He is an elderly gentleman who is undergoing chemotherapy and has
already had more than his share of problems. Evaluate the scenario
to determine which elements in the chain of infection were present.
What revisions to Kristie’s actions would have to occur to follow
the principles of medical and surgical asepsis? Which
microorganisms would most likely be a threat to Kristie and to the
patient?
