Patient Education Evidence-Based Care Poster
1) Choose an Evidence-Based Guideline or Screening (professional/Legal Standard of practice), This should be something you have noticed should be done and that patients are following up on or accepting as part of care. Before settling on this review the literature and see if this is a problem.
* You will need to post a link to the EB Standard and APA citation to this standard
* You will need to post a link and APA style citation that shows that this guideline/standard is not always met.
2) Choose a target audience. Who are they? Discuss the target audience who is part of a vulnerable population or ethnic minority and how this guideline affects one or more of these groups.
2a) Discuss professional or legal standards that should be considered
3) Develop the text for the Poster on WORD\’s readability calculations (Grade level of 8th grade or lower must be attained, the lower the better as long as the meaning is preserved. You will of course cut and paste this on the poster.
Post a screenshot of the readability here
4)Poster should include the information asked in question 1., 2., 2a., and 3 above as well as the following (generally- this may vary depending on the topic):
What patient should do
Why they should do it
How to do it
What the outcome for this will be (timeline might be appropriate)
5) Design poster (Make it factual and colorful)
6) No citation needs to be present on the poster but it must be listed here

Hand hygiene
CDC and HICPAC recommend strongly for hand hygiene to be followed in all healthcare facilities.

APA Citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2022). Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings. https://www.cdc.gov/handhygiene/providers/guideline.html
Despite being an emphasized policy, CDC further explained that hand hygiene target is not always met. For instance, “of 2020, 2.3 billion people lacked basic hygiene services (handwashing facility with soap and water), and 1.6 billion people had access to handwashing facilities that lacked water or soap.” 30% of people worldwide are not using even basic hand hygiene services.

Target Audience
Hand hygiene is a requirement for all primary healthcare stakeholders, particularly care providers and most healthcare practitioners. This evidence-based guideline tells when and how care providers should wash their hands while dealing with patients. Should they fail to comply with these guidelines, they pose a high risk of contracting some infectious diseases and spreading them to healthcare practitioners and patients, particularly healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) infections. As such, the guideline is needed to help mitigate the spread of infectious diseases and maintain good health.
2a) Professional or Legal Standards of Hand Hygiene
According to hand hygiene guidelines, healthcare personnel should sanitize their hands with alcohol-based hand rub or wash with soap and water. This should be done right before touching a patient, before performing an aseptic task or handling invasive medical devices, before moving to a clean body site when shifting from a soiled body site, after touching a patient or the patient’s immediate environment, after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces, and immediately after glove removal (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). People mostly prefer alcohol-based hand rub to soap and water because it is convenient and more effective, thereby giving better compliance.
Healthcare personnel is required to comply with hand hygiene as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Hand hygiene for a visibly soiled hand should include both soap and water. Healthcare facilities should ensure supplies needed for compliance with hand hygiene are available and readily accessible in all areas where patient care is being delivered (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).
3) Develop the text for the Poster on WORD\’s
| HAND HYGIENE | |
| USING SOAP AND WATER
N/B IS USED WHEN SOAP AND WATER ARE AVAILABLE OR WHEN HANDS ARE SOILED Ø Wet your hands with running water Ø Cover your hands surface with soap Ø Scrub thoroughly Ø Dry with a clean towel USING AN ALCOHOL-BASED HAND RUB N/B IS MOST PREFERRED WHEN THERE IS NOT WATER AND SOAP AND WHEN HANDS ARE NOT SOILED Ø Rub a small amount of alcohol-based rub Ø Thoroughly rub on your finger Ø Continue to rub until it’s dry. No need for rinsing
