Sumario:	Hospital onset Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes significant disease burden and is associated with increased patient mortality. A nurse-driven CDI test order set had been implemented to reduce hospital-onset CDI, yet the order set was not being used. We employed a humble inquiry interview method to identify barriers to using the CDI test order set. The humble inquiry approach uncovered unexpected barriers and may be a robust method to identify additional infection prevention evidence-to-practice gaps. • The Humble inquiry interview method may be useful in infection prevention. • Humble inquiry allows for open ended responses. • The study found unexpected barriers to utilizing a nurse driven C.diff order set. • Patient modesty was a barrier to nurse-patient communication regarding bowel habits.
