Marion is at greatest risk for contracting the healthcare-associated infection called nosocomial infections.

What are nosocomial infections?

The predisposing factors to nosocomial infections are:

  • general anesthesia,

  • an intravenous catheter,

  • surgical wounds, and

  • a urinary catheter.
