A nurse is assisting with an in-service about hospital-acquired injuries to a group of staff. Which of the following conditions should the nurse include in the teaching as an example of a hospital-acquired injury?

A. This is a chronic endocrine disorder caused by underactive thyroid function. It develops over time and is not related to hospitalization or in-hospital interventions, so it is not considered a hospital-acquired injury. B. DVT can occur when a client is immobilized during hospitalization, especially after surgery or prolonged bedrest. It is considered a hospital-acquired injury because it develops as a direct consequence of hospitalization or treatment and can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism. C. While acute elevations in blood pressure may occur in hospitalized clients due to stress or illness, chronic hypertension is not caused by hospitalization and therefore is not classified as a hospital-acquired injury. D. Diabetes is a long-term metabolic disorder caused by impaired insulin production or utilization. It is not induced by hospitalization and is unrelated to hospital-acquired injuries.
