    abstract = {This study sought to find out the level of
compliance with practice of universal safety precautions
among nurses in the university of Calabar teaching
hospital in patient’s care. In order to successfully carry
out the study, the following hypothesis were raised to
guide the study. There is no significant relationship
between nurse’s knowledge of safety precautions in
patient’s care and their compliance with practice of
universal precautions in the university of Calabar teaching
hospital. Sex does not significantly influence the level of
compliance with practice of universal precautions by
nurses in the university of Calabar teaching hospital.
Seniority does not significantly influence the level of
compliance with practice of universal precautions by
nurses in the university of Calabar teaching hospital. The
research instrument used in collecting data for analysis
was a questionnaire administered to the nurses. The
questionnaire was administered to 120 nurses drawn from
the university of Calabar teaching hospital. Their
responses were analyzed using appropriate statistics and
the following results were obtained. From the results on
Table 3 there is no significant influence of sex on the
level of compliance with practice of universal precautions
since the calculated t-value of 0.92 is less than the critical
t-value of 1.98. This therefore, means that the null
hypothesis is retained. It was recommended among others
that the hospitals should organize seminars or workshops
to further train nurses on the use of protective materials in
patient care.}
