Brushing your teeth in hospital
“I found it disconcerting to read that a special initiative was required to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia. It reflects very badly on the nursing profession, or is this another impact factor of a nursing shortage? We need to make nursing contributions visible by mandating the adoption of standardised nursing terminology in systems as detailed in the Australian College of Nursing’s position statement. This allows hospitals to analyse nursing data, generate best practices, and increase the body of nursing knowledge. In today’s world nursing care only becomes visible when preventable adverse outcomes are identified. This needs to change!”
