The separate chapter is also devoted to nosocomial infections. In the second part are definitions of three targets. The first is to find out which types of protective equipment are used by nurses in outpatient services. The second target is to find out how nurses use hand hygiene techniques and the third is to find out which way nurses are manipulating used medical materials.
