Title of Project: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Education for High-Risk Individuals

Problem statement: According to the Center of Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) (2017) of the United States, daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from sex by more than 90%. PrEP can stop HIV from infecting and spreading throughout your body. It is highly effective for preventing HIV if used as prescribed. HIV prevention is a major concern in the United States and is a growing epidemic. In 2014, an estimated 1.1 million persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV (CDC, 2015). About 50,000 people get infected with HIV each year (CDC, 2017). Due to the new advancement in medical treatment PrEP can prevent or control the spread of infection. PrEP is only prescribed for a patient that are considered high-risk for contracting HIV. The high-risk target group includes men who have sex with men (MSM), HIV-discordant couples (one partner has HIV the other partner doesn’t), and injection drugs users. In addition, PrEP is can be used if an HIV positive partner wants to have a baby. The target group is MSM’s population in Gadsden County, Florida. A collaboration from Gadsden County Health Department (GCHD) and Gadsden County Jail will increase awareness and provide treatment. Currently, there is no data as of how many do not have access to treatment. However, the Surgeon General of Florida wants to eradicate the spread of HIV among the high-risk population by providing PrEP therapy in 67 counties health department (CHD) free of charge (Ryder, P. 2017).

Plan: Implement policy, PowerPoint, teaching plan, for staff and MSM’s.

Goal: To decrease the transmission of HIV in high-risk individual, educate the individual about the medications and regimen, and provide referrals services to help individuals minimize their exposure to HIV.

Title: Importance of Mobility in Acute Care.

Problem Statement: Prolong periods of bedrest increase the patients’ length of stay at the hospital, increase the risk for falls, which can lead to functional decline and increased readmission rates. Increase the risk for hospital-acquired infections, pressure ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, and decrease muscle strength. Brown, Friedkin, and Inouye (2004) found several adverse outcomes are due to the lack of ambulation during hospitalization, leading to a higher incidence of skilled nursing facility placement and higher length of stay. In a study by Hastings, Sloane, Morey, Pavon Hoeing (2014) evidence showed that early ambulation during hospitalization reduces the number of patients being discharged to a skilled nursing facility.

Plan: Evidence of completion: Teaching plan, PowerPoint presentation, brochure

Goal: At the completion of the power point presentation educational session on the importance of mobilizing patients during their hospital stay the medical-surgical and critical care nursing staff will employ ambulating patients daily, and get 100% of their patients out of bed by day one of admission. As evidenced by a randomized survey to show patients are being ambulated daily for the next six months.
