Which item is included in an infection control policy?

• A. Monthly payroll reports
• B. Employee training schedules
• C. TB skin tests for residents
• D. Resident dietary menus

Answer: (C)

Infection control policies are about preventing the spread of infections within a facility by outlining how to identify contagious cases, apply precautions, and train staff to follow safety procedures. TB skin tests for residents fit this purpose because they help detect TB infection early, allowing for isolation and treatment to stop transmission to others. The other options aren’t focused on preventing infections: payroll reports are administrative, resident dietary menus deal with nutrition, and while staff training is important, infection control policies emphasize the actual procedures and surveillance that prevent infection spread.
