HAIs are infections suffered by clients while receiving treatment for health problems. The five U.S. major HAIs cost 9.8 billion between 2011 and 2013 (Zimlichman et al., 2013). HAIs represent a major threat to client safety and as well as their economic burden on clients, nurses must be concerned.
