Based on the following description of several projects, indicate whether the project type is Research, EBP or QI. Projects are identified as A, B, C and D. Ongoing monitoring of infection rates of patients undergoing total joint procedures in the operating room [Project A] indicates a rate increase during the past few months. Staff members start an extensive review and critique of the literature and AORN Guidelines, including the “Guideline for preoperative patient skin antisepsis”. After this systematic review, sufficient evidence is identified to implement, as a facility protocol, a preoperative bathing process that was not previously used [Project B]. If a gap in knowledge had been identified relative to the infection prevention processes for patients undergoing total joint procedures, then the operating room staff members might have chosen to conduct a [Project C] project to address the evidence gap. If, after implementation of the recommended practice, the OR continues to experience a high rate of infection, then the staff members may want to examine the preoperative bathing processes that are used and determine whether personnel are following the procedure as recommended or conduct a quick test of change to compare the bathing products provided to the patients with other bathing products used in other OR settings [Project D] . What type of project is Project B? Research Evidence-based Practice Quality Improvement None of the above
