Question 1 of 5
Which of the following refers to a patient who enters a hospital with a known infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A patient who enters a hospital with a known infection is referred to as having a community-acquired infection. This term is used to describe infections that are acquired outside of a healthcare setting, such as in the community or at home, before the patient is admitted to the hospital. It is important to differentiate community-acquired infections from nosocomial infections, which are acquired within a hospital or healthcare facility, and iatrogenic infections, which are caused by medical treatment or procedures. The term 'idiopathic infection' refers to an infection of unknown cause, which is not applicable in this context.
