Health Care Associated Infections Nursing CE Course

Course overview

This learning activity aims to increase nurses' knowledge of health care-associated infections (HAIs), such as Clostridioides difficile, central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and antibiotic-resistant organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. This includes understanding the epidemiology and pathophysiology, risk and protective factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and management, and nursing implications of HAIs.
