question 1 of 8
select the best answer: what is a healthcare associated infection (hai)?

• infection from travel
• infection from food
• infection from exercise
• infection acquired during care

Explanation:

A healthcare - associated infection (HAI) is defined as an infection that a patient acquires while receiving medical care or services in a healthcare setting. The option "infection from travel" is related to infections picked up while traveling, not in a healthcare context. "Infection from food" is a food - borne infection, usually related to consuming contaminated food, not healthcare. "Infection from exercise" is not a typical way to acquire an HAI. The option "infection acquired during care" fits the definition of an HAI as it is acquired while a patient is receiving healthcare.

Answer:

D. infection acquired during care
