It examines the nature of infectious disease transmission in clinical settings, the nurse’s role in education and practice, the implementation of infection control protocols, and collaborative measures with interdisciplinary teams. The study draws on existing literature, primary research findings, and best practices to propose actionable strategies for strengthening the nurse’s contribution to infection prevention.
