Problem statement: The prevalence of CAUTI in the hospital is linked with unnecessary use of indwelling urinary catheters (IUC). The rate of patients that do not meet the appropriate indications for the catheter is approximately 50%. In addition‚ 40% of clinicians remain unaware of the presence of the IUC on their patients. For the patient with the IUC‚ the daily rate of developing a CAUTI is about 3%-7% (Mori‚ 2014). Research question: There is a gap in knowledge regarding the potential benefit
