Describe the fourth goal of controlling an infectious disease.
What will be an ideal response?
Eradication of an infection is the fourth goal of controlling an infectious disease and implies the permanent reduction of the worldwide incidence of an infection caused by a specific agent so that intervention measures are no longer required. The only disease that has achieved worldwide eradication at this time is smallpox, but measles and polio are targeted by the WHO and may meet this goal in the foreseeable future.

A. The ventilator will increase the flow over the next three breaths until the target minute ventilation is achieved. B. Pressure will be added to the delivered VT over the next three breaths until the original minute ventilation is restored. C. A backup respiratory rate will be activated to re-establish the target minute ventilation. D.
