 # The classification of infection control depends on the procedure being performed and the risk of which of the following? 

a. Contamination. 

b. Disinfection. 

c. Transmission. 

d. Splatter. 

The correct answer is C. Transmission.

The classification of infection control measures depends on the procedure being performed and the risk of transmission of infectious agents. Infection control measures are designed to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, which can occur through various means, such as contact with contaminated surfaces or equipment, exposure to droplets or aerosols generated during procedures, or direct contact with infected patients. The classification of infection control measures takes into account the nature of the procedure being performed, the potential for exposure to infectious agents, and the level of risk associated with the procedure. The classification can range from standard precautions for low-risk procedures to transmission-based precautions for high-risk procedures.
