This article describes how to write an effective business case that can help ensure fundholders will consider a proposed initiative to be viable. • Using a structured format can enable the nurse to demonstrate their proposal in a concise, business-like manner that all stakeholders can understand. • Historically, nurses have not been supported to obtain the skills needed to develop business acumen and produce robust business cases, but they can access support provided by charities that fund NHS posts. • Writing a business case may involve several reviews to ensure the content is robust and relevant to the needs of the service and/or organisation.

An enema may be prescribed for therapeutic purposes, to administer medicines or for diagnostic purposes. The most common reason for administration of an enema is to relieve severe acute or chronic constipation. This article details the preparation and procedure required for safe administration of an enema in adults and considers the associated indications, contraindications and potential complications. • An enema involves the introduction of a substance in liquid form into the rectum and is a prescription-only medicine. • There are three main types of enemas commonly used in nursing practice: retention, evacuant and softener enemas. • Administration of an enema is invasive and highly personal, and nurses undertaking this procedure must have the knowledge and skills required to do so safely and work within their level of competence.

Quality improvement (QI) can have many purposes, but its overall aim is to enhance patient care in a structured and systematic manner. It is essential that nurses, as part of the healthcare team, understand the importance of QI and their role in QI projects. Nurses who lead QI projects need the knowledge and skills required to do so effectively within their level of competence. • The Model for Improvement based on the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle has become a framework of reference for QI. • It is important to allocate sufficient time to the planning stage of a QI project and clearly identify the issues and their root causes, what interventions to test and how to measure success. • Involving stakeholders from the outset, eliciting their views and gaining their support, is a major determinant of success.

The sample acquired from the wound swab is sent for laboratory analysis to assess the level of bioburden present in a wound and to guide treatment decisions. Before undertaking this procedure, the nurse should perform a structured wound assessment and use their clinical judgement to identify the presence of infection and determine if a wound swab is necessary. This How to article details the procedure for obtaining a wound swab safely. Nurses undertaking this activity must have the knowledge and skills required to do so safely, follow local policy, and must work within their level of competence. • Wound infection is challenging for patients, their families and healthcare professionals, as it can result in delayed wound healing leading to increased hospital admissions and can adversely affect patients' quality of life. • Obtaining and preparing the equipment required to obtain a wound swab, and to cleanse the wound if necessary, prevents excessive exposure of the wound to the environment. • There is ongoing debate regarding the optimal method for obtaining a wound swab sample, therefore nurses should follow local guidelines and policies. • Understanding the clinical objectives of wound swabbing and adhering to the best available evidence on the identification of wound infection can support nurses to confidently make decisions about the need for a wound swab.
