OSHA lists standard safeguards to protect workers from health hazards related to
blood-borne pathogens. The reason for the standards is there is:
A significant health risk associated with exposure to blood.
How is Hepatitis B transmitted?
By sexual and/or blood-to-blood contact.
Which hepatitis is the cause of most liver transplants?
Hepatitis C
The virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is:
Human immunodeficiency virus
How are blood-borne pathogens spread? Select All That Apply: 4
Pathogen must be present
Person is susceptible to the pathogen
Pathogen enters through the correct entry site
Quantity of pathogen present is enough to cause disease
What is the best way to protect oneself from blood-borne pathogens?
Standard precautions
What is the major difficulty in treating a client with a condition caused by a multidrug
resistant organism?
The microorganisms have become so resistant that no available antibiotics are effective
against them.
Prevention of multidrug resistant organisms in healthcare settings rely on appropriate
clinical practices that are incorporated into all routine patient care. What components
are part of an effective prevention plan? Select all that apply. 4
Prevention of lower respiratory tract infections in intubated patients
Optimal management of vascular and urinary catheters
Judicious anti-microbial selection and utilization
Accurate diagnosis of infections etiologies
Common multidrug resistant organisms include methicillin-resistant staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE).
True
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or
eliminates the effectiveness of substances designed to cure/prevent infections.
True
Repeated and improper use of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug
resistant bacteria.
True
According to the Morse Fall Scale Assessment, a patient has a high-risk of falling. The
patient fell while being toileted by the nursing staff. By definition, how would this fall be
classified?
Anticipated physiological fall
, The nurse is completing in-patient admission assessments on a group of new patients.
Based on the intrinsic factors present, which patient should the nurse identify as being
the highest risk for fall? The patient who has:
Decreased visual acuity, walks with a cane, and has arthritis
The nurse is determining steps that could be taken to reduce the patient's extrinsic risks
for falls. Which nurse intervention could the nurse plan to reduce the patient's extrinsic
fall risk? Select all that apply. 6
Availability of needed assistive devices
Lighting in the patient's room
Proper use of assistive devices
Bathroom support equipment for the toilet and shower
Condition of the floor surfaces
Type and condition of footwear
When developing a risk management plan, take into account that there is no single risk
factor or single approach solution. The plan must be multi-disciplinary and multi-factorial
in approach and must be tailored to the individual. Which fall prevention program is
most likely to be effective? One which:
Encompasses a number of different interventions and targets multiple risk factors
One is benefit of implementing a standardized fall risk assessment at the time of
admission?
All necessary fall prevention resources that target the specific risk factors can be
implemented early.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), what is the purpose of Standard
Precautions? Choose the BEST answer.
Protect healthcare practitioners and patients from the spread of infections
What are the components of Standard Precautions? Select all that apply 3
Personal protective equipment
Safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment and surfaces in the patient
environment
Hand hygiene
What is the difference between standard precautions and transmission precautions?
Transmission precautions are:
Used when the routes of transmission are not completely interrupted by standard
precautions alone.
When contact precautions are to be implemented, what protection is required of all
healthcare personnel providing care to the patient?
Donning gown and gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or
potentially contaminated surfaces.
When should droplet precautions be implemented?
On admission of any patient admitted with complications related to influenza
When are airborne precautions implemented rather than droplet precautions?
When the infectious agent has the ability to remain suspended in the air over long
distances.
When should soap and water hand hygiene be used rather than the preferred method of
alcohol based hand rub?
