A. The inability to control the bladder or bowels
B. The set of methods practiced in healthcare facilities to prevent and control the spread of disease
C. The inability to fall asleep or remain asleep
D. A report documenting an accident and response to the incident

The correct answer is: B. The set of methods practiced in healthcare facilities to prevent and control the spread of disease

The purpose of infection prevention is to prevent and control the spread of disease in healthcare facilities. This includes implementing measures such as hand hygiene, proper cleaning and disinfection, and the use of personal protective equipment to prevent the transmission of infections between patients, healthcare workers, and visitors. Option A, the inability to control bladder or bowels, is not related to infection prevention. Option C, the inability to fall asleep or remain asleep, is focused on sleep disorders and not relevant to infection prevention. Option D, a report documenting an accident, is related to incident reporting and not specifically focused on preventing disease spread.
