What are the recent infections of concern in the nursing field?
Recent infections have posed significant challenges in the healthcare sector, particularly in nursing. Some of the notable infections include COVID-19, multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), and respiratory infections such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The emergence of new variants of viruses and the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics make it critical for nurses to stay updated on these infections.
