Then it breaks down each infection one by one with an easy to read fact sheet. This is a great resource that merely summarizes each infections transmission, ways to treat the infections and is a good resource on prevention. This will be a great resource because it not only shows how CDIFF affects patients; it summarizes all (HAIs). It is a great source to compare (HAIs) as well. Possible inadequacy could be the fact that the CDC placed so many different infections on one side which could cause individuals to become overwhelmed while trying to obtain information. …show more content…
