Statement: Many patients admitted in a particular hospital have been diagnosed with a serious contagious disease. Courses of Action (repaired options under Recovery-First Policy): I. Immediately evict these patients from the hospital to avoid spread. II. Make appropriate quarantine and infection-control arrangements to contain spread.

Introduction / Context:Healthcare ethics and infection control require isolation, not abandonment. The statement reports a contagious condition within a hospital setting. Course of action II aligns with standard protocols (triage, isolation wards, PPE, hygiene). Course I (evicting patients) is unsafe and unethical.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Diagnosis of a serious contagious disease is confirmed for many patients.
• Hospital has duty of care and infection-control responsibilities.
• Infrastructure can be adapted (isolation, cohorting).

Concept / Approach:Follow infection prevention and control (IPC): isolate cases, protect staff and other patients, trace contacts, and maintain clinical care. Evicting patients would risk community spread and violate care standards.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Activate isolation wards/cohorting; restrict visitors; enforce PPE.2) Intensify cleaning, ventilation, and hand hygiene; establish donning/doffing stations.3) Notify public-health authorities; begin contact tracing and testing.

Verification / Alternative check:Eviction would disperse contagious patients into the community, worsening spread and liability. Quarantine contains risk and provides care.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I/Either/Both/Neither that include I conflict with medical ethics and IPC.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing isolation (inside care) with sending patients away; underestimating nosocomial transmission controls.

Final Answer:Only II follows.
