The nurse should review current data on hospital-acquired infections to be able to contribute effectively to the QI committee. This will enable the nurse to assess the problem's magnitude and determine where improvements are most necessary. Conducting a literature review, editing unit policies, or planning an in-service are also essential tasks, but the nurse needs current data to develop informed recommendations.
