ABSTRACT: Safe infection control practice implies that caregivers have an insight into the factors that contribute to hospital-acquired infections which enables them to provide informed care and examine patient treatment outcomes. However, results of recent studies suggest that this is far from the case. This article examines why this area of nursing knowledge and practice has remained unquestioned and urges for an examination of how nurses are prepared for safe, informed infection control practice.
