When a healthcare worker (HCW) is involved in patient care, there is every possibility of their hands getting contaminated. Unless adequate hand hygiene is carried out between one patient and the next, there is a likelihood of spread of pathogens. Microbes can also be transmitted to different surfaces a HCW may touch.

Intensive care units or ICUs are changing from multi-bed units to single-patient room units. According to the authors, these changes may have an impact on family satisfaction. With the patient often in a critical non-communicative position, it falls on family members to make decisions and evaluate satisfaction.
