RESUMO
Health care-associated infections impact patient morbidity and mortality, and institutions adopt evidence-based measures to prevent and control such infections. In this study, professionals were observed during patient care under empirical contact precautions. A total of 243 observations were performed in which 39.5% complied with all measures. The positivity rate of surveillance cultures was 38.36%, and adherence to the measures in patients with colonization was 43.1%.
