Expert Solution
Step 1

As we know that, prevention is better than cure hence, always care must be taken to eliminate the chances of disease spread to any patient. Control of infection is necessary to restrict the infection in the diseased only so as to eliminate the chances of others getting infected and the disease affecting a large sum of the population. Sometimes it is essential to follow mandatory transmission based precautions as an add-on to the Standard Precautions, when they alone cannot prevent transmission of any particular disease.
