Abstract

Nursing professionals stand at the forefront of patient care, playing a pivotal role in hospital infection prevention. This article delves into the challenges and responsibilities nurses face in preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). It highlights their continuous engagement with stringent hygiene practices, patient education, and collaboration with a broader healthcare team. Furthermore, the article underscores the importance of continuous education and training in updating nurses with the latest infection prevention protocols. With the rising threat of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and the intricacies of modern healthcare, nurses' roles are ever-evolving. As the guardians of health, their commitment to infection prevention not only safeguards individual patient health but also ensures the overall well-being of the hospital community. Investments in their training and resources are essential for the continued high standards of care and infection prevention in healthcare settings.
