Hi Patrice, great post. I find that c.difficile has been fairly common in the facility where I work, and has even required the entire hospital to be on heightened awareness for c.difficile. We always talk about hand hygiene amongst healthcare workers however, it is easy to bypass this for patients too. Especially patients who are frequently in bed. I try my best to help them with hand hygiene prior to their meals as this can help stop the spread of infections such as c.diff.
