    Which of the following best describes the 'Chain of Infection' in infection control and how it can be broken to prevent the spread of disease?
    The Chain of Infection is a series of steps that describes how infectious diseases are transmitted, including agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host; breaking any link can prevent infection.
    The Chain of Infection only involves stopping hand-to-hand contact between patients and staff.
    The Chain of Infection involves identifying the pathogen and using appropriate precautions, such as PPE, to disrupt at least one specific link.
    The Chain of Infection is a model that explains disease spread through multiple links, and each link represents a target for intervention, such as hand hygiene or environmental cleaning.
    It refers only to bacterial infections, not viruses or fungi.
    The Chain of Infection focuses solely on the immune status of the host to determine if infection will occur.
