Introduction
Problem-oriented clinical nursing problems are those issues that nurses encounter while in their nursing practice as well as those problems related to patient care like the prevention of trauma, support, promoting the recovery process, provision of patient comfort, health screening, assessments and appraisals as well as health education. Selecting a clinical nurse problem requires the evaluation of three main dimensions: scientific dimensions, social or personal dimensions. This study will employ the scientific dimension of identifying the problem and providing a theoretical discussion on the same. The problem identified is hand hygiene and I will therefore expound on the same using three nursing theories: Self-care theory, Rogers’ theory and the System Model.
