Star Point 1: Discovery (Identify topic and practice issue)
Identify the topic and the nursing practice issue related to this topic. (This MUST involve a nursing

Hand hygiene protocol to address the clinical practice issue of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
Briefly describe your rationale for your topic selection. Include the scope of the issue/problem.
The clinical practice problem of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is increasingly becoming a concern
in the healthcare sector. The hands of the healthcare professionals serve as vectors for transmitting
infections from one patient to the other. With the enforcement of hand hygiene protocol within healthcare
settings, the challenges of HAIs would be addressed and the patients will be cushioned from the problem.
