According to the Authors, in Addition to the Patient-Based Conditions

According to the authors, in addition to the patient-based conditions that enhance risks of hospital-acquired infections, treatment=related conditions also increase vulnerability to hospital-acquired infections. Thus, hospitals with lower ratings may want to analyze their files to determine whether the patients in the higher risk category also:

A) Spent time in high risk care units
B) Were tested for wounds that made them more vulnerable to hospital-acquired infections
C) Were tested with certain antibiotics that are associated with greater vulnerability to hospital acquired infections
D) Had longer lengths of stays since this increases vulnerability to hospital-acquired infections
E) a and b
F) b and c
G) c and d
H) a, b, c, and d
I) None of the above
