Abstract
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.
