Reducing Blood Culture Contamination Rate in King Abdullah Hospital, Bisha, Saudi Arabia
One major issue in care settings is blood culture contamination. When a blood sample is contaminated with microorganisms that aren't in the patient's blood, hospital stays get longer, antibiotic usage gets excessive, and healthcare costs go upMethodologyThis nursing blood culture sample process quality improvement project was carried out in all of King Abdullah Hospital's inpatient wards, Bisha, Saudi Arabia. This design is commonly used to assess and examine current conditions or practices in an effort to make them better. Two tools are employed in the risk analysis process: the Ishikawa diagram and the FMEA then blood contamination rate was evaluated after corrective actionsResultsFailures with the highest RPN included improper site preparation, failing to wash hands before the procedure, and failing to sanitize the top surface of the culture bottle with alcohol before transferring blood, following the implementation of corrective actions, such as improved awareness-raising about blood culture collection and site preparation, lectures and training workshops for precautions, strictly adhering to policies and procedures, monitoring, and evaluation, The post-intervention Risk Priority Number (RPN) results showed a considerable decrease, and the frequency of contaminated blood culture samples was also decreased.ConclusionIncreased awareness of blood culture collection and site preparation, alcohol wiping of culture bottle tops, proper supply setup prior to procedure commencement, training seminars and lectures on precautions, rigorous adherence to policies and procedures, monitoring, and evaluation are recommended to decrease the rate of blood culture contamination.

Banished potentates
Though the overthrow and exile of Napoleon in 1815 is a familiar episode in modern history, it is not well known that just a few months later, British colonisers toppled and banished the last king in Ceylon. Beginning with that case, this volume examines the deposition and exile of indigenous monarchs by the British and French - with examples in India, Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco - from the early nineteenth century down to the eve of decolonisation. It argues that removal of native sovereigns, and sometimes abolition of dynasties, provided a powerful strategy used by colonisers, though European overlords were seldom capable of quelling resistance in the conquered countries, or of effacing the memory of local monarchies and the legacies they left behind

Desert Rose
Desert Rose details Coretta Scott King's upbringing in a family of proud, land-owning African Americans with a profound devotion to the ideals of social equality and the values of education, as well as her later role as her husband's most trusted confidant and advisor. Coretta Scott King—noted author, human rights activist, and wife and partner of famed Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King Jr.—grew up in the rural Alabama Black Belt with her older sister, Edythe Scott Bagley. Bagley chronicles the sisters’ early education together at the Crossroads School and later at the progressive Lincoln School in Marion. She describes Coretta’s burgeoning talent for singing and her devotion to musical studies, and the sisters’ experiences matriculating at Antioch College, an all-white college far from the rural South. Bagley provides vivid insights into Coretta’s early passion for racial and economic justice, which lead to her involvement in the Peace Movement and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. As Coretta’s older sister, Edythe shared in almost all of Coretta’s many trials and tribulations. Desert Rose charts Coretta’s hesitance about her romance with Martin Luther King and the prospect of having to sacrifice her dream of a career in music to become a minister’s wife. Ultimately, Coretta chose to utilize her artistic gifts and singing voice for the Movement through the development and performance of Freedom Concerts. This book also charts Coretta’s own commitment and dedication, in the years that followed King’s death, to the causes of international civil rights, the antiapartheid movement, and the establishment of the King Center in Atlanta and the national King Holiday. Coretta’s devotion to activism, motherhood, and the movement led by her husband, and her courageous assumption of the legacy left in the wake of King’s untimely assassination, are wonderfully detailed in this intimate biography.
