Abstract
Effectiveness of Built-in Bathroom Facilities in Reducing Inpatient Falls from an Acute Care Setting
Highlights
Anosocomial infection — called “hospitalacquired infection” can be defined as: An infection acquired in hospital by a patient who was admitted for a reason other than that infection [1]
This manual has been developed to be a practical, basic, resource which may be used by individuals with an interest in nosocomial infections and their control, as well as those who work in nosocomial infection control in health care facilities
Many factors contribute to the frequency of nosocomial infections: hospitalized patients are often immunocompromised, they undergo invasive examinations and treatments, and patient care practices and the hospital environment may facilitate the transmission of microorganisms among patients
