Positive Patient Outcomes for Clients with SAB According to Lopez-Cortes et al. (2013) bacteremia is closely related to a patient's morbidity state and the outcome that follows this state, which can lead to chronic disease or even death. In the article “Impact of an evidence-based intervention in the management of quality of care and outcomes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia,” Lopez-Cortes et al. (2013) describe significant factors, such as quality of care indicators (CQI), which have proven to be quantitative measures of crucial importance on the prognosis and subsequent treatment of this disease. As a result, a research article conducted by Holmes et al. (2011), “Antibiotic choice may not explain poorer outcomes in patients with staphylococcal aureus bacteremia and elevated vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations,” denotes the importance of analysis-based increases in the minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotics when treats blood infections in order to acquire more favorable outcomes. Furthermore, a patient case was selected to address and analyze two topics: 1) the medical care received by the patient and how the treatment can be improved based on the selected article on evidence-based practice and 2) how it is possible improve treatment with the results of the selected article search.Bacteremia is the infection of the blood with an agent foreign to the blood itself. Various foreign agents may be able to infiltrate the previously sterile circulatory system, but only Staphylococcus aureus will be considered in this article. According to Thwaites et al.
