Catheter–Acquired Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) is a contagion that occurs due to using a catheter, a tube inserted into the bladder via the urethra to cesspit urine. Infection of the bladder, urethra, or kidneys results from widespread usage of the spouts (Kranz et al., 2020). Patients with CAUTI experience excessive fever, contract urinary tract stones, and are at a high risk of dying. When a bladder gets squashed, urine accumulates, causing pressure in the kidneys, which results in failure or damage to the kidney.
Stakeholders such as infection perfectionists want the delinquent resolved because this leads to prolonged hospital stays, augmented well-being upkeep charges, patient discomfort, sickness, mortality, and high congestion. Moreover, stakeholders such as nurses and specialists would like the problem to be dealt with because when complications arise, the surgeons will work extra hard to save lives (Flores-Mireles, 2019). Nursing practitioners will have difficulty balancing work and family to ensure patients are in good health conditions. The above issue affects society because the public will raise funds for sick individuals who cannot afford to purchase the tubes.
In addition, different populations will contribute money to help patients who cannot fully pay for hospital costs. When clinics get crowded, persons suffering from different sicknesses will stay home, leading to increased deaths (Kranz et al., 2020). State hospitals should develop cheaper ways to drain patients’ urine if the bladder fails to reduce infections. Patients with CAUTI want the issue fixed because those suffering from the disorder will most likely pay twice the bills of individuals without the infection. CAUTI patients are at high risk of getting bacteriuria, coating, and obstruction. Consequently, the same individuals will be required to stay in the sick bay double the time of people without UTIs. The infection spreads to the patient’s kidneys leading to permanent damage that can cause death. The infected persons will have to pay extra cash to buy medication.
