    Giving care to a patient is not a straightforward process because a patient is made up of advanced systems. Symptoms and the severity of a disease process are dependent on a particular patient, and it may not always be uniform from patient to patient. Because of this, nurses must be able to use their knowledge appropriately to help a patient. Nurses use techniques, such as Evidence Based Practice, in order to integrate new and advanced knowledge into their patient care (Canada, 2016).

Several studies recommend, the use of gloves and routine hand washing with soap and water after care of CDI patients rather than alcohol based hand rub for mechanical removal of spores from hands (Siegel et al, 2007) (Haut, 2008) (Vonberg et al. 2008).
