Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urinary tract infections are the most common nosocomial infections, accounting for around 40% of all hospital-acquired infections. They are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through a catheter or during instrumentation. Respiratory tract infections are also a common nosocomial infection, especially among patients on ventilators, but they are not as common as UTIs. Blood and reproductive tract infections are less frequently seen as nosocomial infections.
