The rationale for the case study series is presented, along with results of the first 5 American Journal of Infection Control–National Healthcare Safety Network case studies. Although the respondents were correct in their assessments more often than not, opportunities for improvement remain. Ten new case studies with questions are provided. Participants are provided with instructions on how to submit responses for continuing education credit through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Answers with referenced explanations will be provided immediately to those who seek continuing education credit and at a later date via the online journal for those who do not.
