Nosocomial infections were prevalent in the NICU causing morbidity and mortality among the infants. The infants were critically ill, low birth weight, premature or on mechanical ventilation, making them more susceptible to infections. The study attempted to justify that if the nurses adhered to a particular education program that focused on applying the standard precautions in hand washing, tracheobronchial suctioning and nasogastric tube feeding, it would reduce the prevalence of nosocomial blood and respiratory tract infections.
