Best Answer

Nosocomial infections are any infections acquired at a health care location, such as a hospital, surgical center, lab, emergency room, doctor's office, clinic, etc.

"Community-acquired" is a term used to identify infections that are not nosocomial but were acquired in any other locations besides health care facilities.
