Question 1 of 5
A nurse is on the hospital quality and performance Improvement committee. The committee is reviewing compliance with prevention measures related to posterior cervical surgical site infections over the first 3 quarters of the year. Which measures should the nurse recognize that indicate the need for improvement compared to benchmarks? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: The correct answers are A, D, and E. Glucose control, perioperative antibiotics, and smoking cessation are important prevention measures related to posterior cervical surgical site infections. Glucose control is crucial as hyperglycemia can impair immune function, leading to increased infection risk. Perioperative antibiotics help prevent surgical site infections by reducing bacterial load. Smoking cessation is vital as smoking impairs wound healing and increases infection risk. Intraoperative vancomycin (
B) is not typically a prevention measure for surgical site infections in posterior cervical surgeries. Postoperative normothermia (
C) is important for general patient care but is not specifically related to preventing surgical site infections in this context.
