Infection control is a critical aspect of nursing, and fabric choice can significantly influence this: - Antimicrobial Fabrics: Some fabrics are treated with antimicrobial agents to reduce the risk of infection. - Easy-to-Clean: Fabrics that resist stains and can be washed at high temperatures help maintain a sterile environment. - Fluid-Resistant: Fabrics that repel fluids prevent the absorption of blood and other bodily fluids, reducing the risk of contamination.
