What is the goal of infection control?

  1. Increasing the spread of diseases

  2. Reducing transmission of infectious organisms

  3. Diagnosing diseases

  4. Treating diseases

The correct answer is: Reducing transmission of infectious organisms

Infection control refers to practices and procedures that are used to prevent the spread of infections within a community or population. The goal of infection control is to reduce transmission of infectious organisms, not to increase the spread of diseases. Diagnosing and treating diseases are important components of infection control, but they are not the overall goal. Instead, they are necessary steps to prevent the spread of diseases and protect the health of individuals and communities.
