Universal precautions require health workers to treat all patients equally using universal precautions regardless of the disease.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the knowledge of nurses about Universal Precaution and the prevention of Nosocomial Infections at the Royal Prima Prima Hospital in Medan. This type of research is analytic with a cross-sectional design.

Sampling in this study was to use a saturated sampling of 58 people.The results of the study with the results of the chi-square test with a degree of significance (α) = 0.05 and df = 4 obtained the calculation results, namely X²count 16.948 > X²table 9.488 and p-value = 0.002, then Ha is accepted, namely there is a relationship between nurses' knowledge about Universal Precautions and Nosocomial infection prevention measures.In conclusion, there is a relationship between nurses' knowledge of Universal Precaution and Nosocomial Infection prevention measures in hospitals.
