Description of Clinical Issue of Interest
Central lines are essential for purposes such as monitoring hemodynamic instability, delivering total parenteral nutrition, and administering renal replacement therapy (Yu, Lu, Meng, Zhao, & Zheng, 2017).
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) account for one-third of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and have a mortality rate between 12% to 25% (Woodward & Umberger, 2016).
Longer hospitalizations, increased hospital costs, poor patient outcomes, and increased mortality are negative issues associated with CLABSIs (Storey et al.,
Public reporting of CLABSIs are mandatory and negatively affect Medicare reimbursement (Woodward & Umberger, 2016).
By implementing evidence-based practices such as daily chlorhexidine (CHG) baths, nurses are successfully lowering CLABSI rates in hospitals across the United States (Frost et al., 2018; Woodward & Umberger, 2016).
Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.

PICOT question
In acute care hospitalized patients, what is the effect of using daily chlorhexidine (CHG) bathing on patients with central lines compared to patients with central lines not receiving daily CHG bathing on CLABSI rates?
Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest

Cochrane Review
From the website https://www.cochrane.org/about-us
To produce high-quality, relevant, up-to-date systematic reviews and other synthesized research evidence to inform health decision making
Joanna Briggs (JBI)
From the website:https://joannabriggs.org/about-jbi
JBI develops and delivers unique evidence-based information, software, education and training designed to improve healthcare practice and health outcomes.
CINAHL Plus with Full Text
Provides access to allied health topics and nursing-related literature through electronic books and journals (Walden University Library, n.d.).
Turning Research Into Practice (TRIP) Database
A database capable of locating evidence-based synopses, systematic reviews, tools, clinical answers, and guidelines (Walden University Library, n.d.).
.

Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
Example of databases
remember these are filtered databases where you are looking for higher level evidence, for example Cochrane Review or Joanna Briggs
Slide 5
Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected. Remember these at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question.
5
Example-Remember they should be at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question.
Slide 6
The following use the Johns Hopkins Levels of Evidence
The article by Afonso, Blot, K., and Blot, S. (2016) uses Level I evidence to review four previous research projects by experts to analyze the effects of CHG washcloths on decreasing the rate of CLABSIs on intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
The article by Frost et al. (2018) is a systemic review analyzing Level I evidence by experts to randomly determine the effects of CHG bathing on hospitalized patients.
Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.
