Final answer:
The correct answer is 'Infection Control Plan,' which includes protocols for managing the spread of infectious diseases and nosocomial infections, following CDC guidelines, training staff in containment practices, and maintaining strict hygiene and sanitation measures.
Step-by-step explanation:
A facility's Infection Control Plan must include a system for preventing, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and communicable diseases for residents, volunteers, and employees. This plan is essential in healthcare settings to manage the spread of infectious diseases. It includes following protocols designed by authoritative bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that establish procedures for various levels of biological safety and practices for maintaining hygiene and sanitation. In healthcare settings, controlling the spread of nosocomial (healthcare-associated) infections is a critical aspect of such plans.
Prevention methods may include isolation of patients like Marisa to prevent the spread of infections, regularly disinfecting surfaces and equipment, and properly sterilizing or disinfecting clinical tools depending on whether they contact sterile tissue, mucous membranes, or intact skin. Ongoing staff training in containment practices, such as those for BSL 1 and 2 laboratories, is also a vital component of a facility's infection control measures.
