Abstract
Elderly patients in critical care settings are at increased risk for nosocomial infections, especially urinary tract infections (UTIs), the most common type of nosocomial infection. Catheter-related UTIs in critically ill elderly patients present a particular challenge to the advanced practice nurse and critical care nurse in terms of clinical features, diagnosis, and management.
