Resumo
Nursing develops the promotion, prevention and recovery of human health. The
admirable Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing, born into a rich, educated
family, had the opportunity to study several languages, mathematics, philosophy,
religion and decided to take care of the most needy, the sick, minimizing pain and
suffering. His life was one of giving, love, charity, humility, valuing the appropriate
environment for care, with authority over the care provided, and yet he managed to
reduce rates of diseases and infections. Antibiotics, drugs with the intention of
recovering health, have been harmed by incorrect use or use without a prescription,
causing numerous harms to health, increasing microbial resistance. In the Intensive
Care Units, all care is redoubled, because they are more sensitive patients and
susceptible to any microorganism. Hand washing despite a simple act is considered
very effective against the transmission of pathogens by reducing health-related
infections. Due to the severity of the patients and the high consumption of
antimicrobials in the ICU, there is a higher incidence of multidrug-resistant germs. The
nurse is the most qualified professional to manage prevention measures against
nosocomial infections.
