Do adult hospitalized patients using chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) wipes for
bathing compared to soap and water have a decrease in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) during their hospital stay?

Step 1

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are also referred to as nosocomial infections. These include the infections that are acquired while receiving healthcare for another condition.

Usually, these nosocomial infections are caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens. This is mainly spread due to improper hand hygiene, improper isolation, incomplete disinfection, and sanitation.
