Why should the nurse implement actions to prevent the onset of catheter-related infections in a patient receiving care in the intensive care unit?
◦ Nosocomial catheter-related infections prolong hospitalization by an average of 4 days.
◦ Statistics report that as many as one in five individuals who develop a catheter-related infection die from it.
◦ The increased cost of care due to the development of a blood-borne infection averages between $1,700 and $17,000.
◦ Central venous catheters have about the same rate of infection as peripherally inserted catheters.
