What is the purpose of establishing an infection control program in a nursing home?

Monitor compliance, investigate, control and prevent infections, and institute appropriate interventions
To provide vaccinations to all residents and staff
To conduct daily health screenings of residents only
To maintain a stockpile of antibiotics

The correct answer is: Monitor compliance, investigate, control and prevent infections, and institute appropriate interventions

An infection control program in a nursing home serves to monitor compliance with hygiene and sanitation practices, investigate and identify potential infections, implement necessary interventions to control and prevent the spread of infections, and ultimately ensure the safety and well-being of residents. Option B, providing vaccinations, and option D, maintaining a stockpile of antibiotics, are specific actions that may be included in the infection control program, but do not encompass the overall purpose. Option C, conducting daily health screenings of residents only, does not cover all aspects of an infection control program and may not be sufficient in preventing the spread of infections. Therefore, option A is the most comprehensive and appropriate answer.
