Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Most nosocomial infections are caused by bacteria. Urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections are the three most common nosocomial infections, most of which can be traced to an invasive device (e.g., a urinary catheter).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
For various reasons and sometimes despite best efforts, certain clients in health agencies develop infections that were not noted to be present on admission. The term nosocomial infection is used to describe a hospital-acquired infection.
