Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hospital-acquired conditions are medical conditions or complications that a patient develops during a stay in a hospital or medical facility, which were not present upon admission. Examples include falls, infections from surgery, and catheter-associated UTIs. A heart attack occurring 24 hours after admission is not typically considered a hospital-acquired condition unless it directly results from hospital care or procedures.
