Response two: Any organization to be successful and have high-quality patient care and safety should always be committed to delivering exceptional care to every patient in the community. The clinical issue or problem is facing is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). In my four years of experience at my current working place, we realize that we are always open to challenges, face them, work on the solutions, and finally with persistence and perseverance, are able to reach the appropriate results. Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP), is the most common and most preventable complication in healthcare, associated with nosocomial infection during the patient’s stay in the hospital. The impaired physiology weakened the immune system, comorbidities and multi-organ failure of the patients increases the risk of potential adverse effects (Botley, Yakusheva & Costa, 2017).
Our hospital is a long-term acute facility (LTAC), a respiratory facility, where patients are admitted with a ventilator through a tracheostomy for the purpose of weaning from ventilator and trach stoma healing process. Some patient has ET (Endotracheal Tube). Our patients could easily develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is nosocomial infection.
Due to the high staff turnover rate, new staff with less information on trach care, the facility has to be more proactive in ways of prevention of VAP, as new oncoming nurses would not be much experienced in carrying out the measures for the prevention of VAP. Taking infection into the consideration, VAP would be the potential clinical problem if not the VAP prevention modalities are strictly applied, which is a high menace in the place with high staff turnover exists.
Leaders/managers should educate new staff on evidence-based strategies to prevent VAP such as hand hygiene, appropriate use of personal protective equipment, the elevation of the head of bed above 35 degrees, suctioning secretion in a timely manner and as needed, oral hygiene and repositioning. And second, the important implication should be adhering to the guidelines and protocols that should be monitored regularly to ensure compliance and to address any deficits identified. By promptly applying the interventions and starting the campaign to start educating nursing staff at the time of orientation and daily basis, frequent in-services by the respiratory team will definitely improve and correct the issue. Training the nursing staff is very important and highly effective by teaching appropriate cuff pressure, suctioning, and disinfecting hands, to prevent VAP. Training and workshops for newly hired nursing staff will be really helpful (Botley, Yakusheva & Costa, 2017).

Response three: Medication adherence is an important public health challenge and a primary determinant of treatment success. Within the healthcare system, each patient receives a personalized medication regimen to meet their individual needs. To achieve an optimal state of health, patients must follow this regimen exactly as directed by their primary health provider. According to the World Health Organization (2019), medication adherence can have a more direct impact on patient outcomes than the specific treatment itself. Patients encounter diverse challenges to medication adherence and compliance which can affect their quality and length of life, as well as the overall health outcomes. Although the responsibility for medication adherence primarily falls on patients, healthcare professionals may help patients reduce or eliminate compliance barriers.
Medication adherence or the lack of has many implications for nursing. Medication nonadherence in patients leads to a substantial worsening of disease which requires more and increasingly complex nursing care, interventions, education, and supervision. Patient education plays an important role in achieving adherence. Therefore, nurses must spend enough time to educate patients and convince them about the benefits of the regimen. However, this can become a challenging task when faced with less than an ideal nurse to patient ratios and high acuity assignments.
