Abstract
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a nosocomial infection that has a significant risk to patient morbidity and mortality. Nurses and patient care technicians (PCTs) provide the most direct care to patients making them at risk of transmitting CDI to patients. It is a collaborative effort of healthcare personnel who provide direct care to patients to prevent transmission of CDI from one patient to another. The objective of this project was to measure staff knowledge about CDI and to evaluate their compliance in using the CDI bundle.
