Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A healthcare-associated infection is an infection that develops in a person after being admitted to a healthcare facility, such as a nursing center. It is acquired in a healthcare setting and can be caused by a variety of organisms. Normal flora are the microorganisms that are normally present on or in a person's body, and do not typically cause infections. Immunity refers to a person's ability to resist infection, and may or may not be present in a person who develops an infection. A contagious disease is a disease that can be spread from person to person, which may or may not be the case with a healthcare-associated infection.
