ANS: C
Hospital surveillance is used to improve quality of care and outcomes. An example is an infection that occurs in patients who had procedures at that facility. Reduction of the incidence of venti-lator-acquired pneumonia is one reason why a hospital uses surveillance, but it does not address the entire issue. Hospital surveillance is unable to eliminate pathogens from the environment and cannot protect the public against isolated patients.
