What's Wrong with This Picture?

You may have seen "What’s Wrong with this Picture?” at Congress, on AORN’s web page, or in the Connections Newsletter --- we are happy to announce that the 2009 limited edition is now available in poster size for purchase through the AORN Foundation.

Order your poster today for a fun, interactive approach to educating staff in infection prevention and safety. The poster can be used for the novice perioperative nurse during orientation as well as for experienced members of the team. Testing the knowledge base of team members can be done by having contests, using the poster as competencies, and review.

The cartoon reflects information on practice patterns, based on the Standards and Recommended Practices book and regulatory and recommending agencies such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), The Joint Commission, and the American Society for Healthcare Environmental Services (ASHES).

All proceeds from the sale of this poster will support research projects funded through the AORN Foundation.
