Fundamentals of Nursing N192 Exam #1

Questions and Answers 100% Solved


1. A nurse is following the principles of medical asepsis when performing

patient care in a hospital setting. Which nursing action performed by the

nurse follows these recommended guidelines? - ✔✔1. c. According to

the principles of medical asepsis, the nurse should move equipment away

from the body when brushing, scrubbing, or dusting articles to prevent

contaminated particles from settling on the hair, face, or uniform. The nurse

should carry soiled items away from the body to prevent them from

touching the clothing. The nurse should not put soiled items on the floor, as

it is highly contaminated. The nurse should also clean the least soiled

areas first and then move to the more soiled ones to prevent having the

cleaner areas soiled by the dirtier areas.

2. A school nurse is performing an assessment of a student who states:

"I'm too tired to keep my head up in class." The student has a low-grade

fever. The nurse would interpret these findings as indicating which stage of

infection? - ✔✔2. b. During the prodromal stage, the person has vague

signs and symptoms, such as fatigue and a low-grade fever. There are no

obvious symptoms of infection during the incubation period, and they are

more specific during the full stage of illness, before disappearing by the

convalescent period.

3. A nurse is caring for patients in an isolation ward. In which situations

would the nurse appropriately use an alcohol-based handrub to

decontaminate the hands? Select all that apply. - ✔✔3. a, c, d, f. It is

recommended to use an alcohol-based handrub in the following situations:

before direct contact with patients; after direct contact with patient skin;

after contact with body fluids if hands are not visibly soiled; after removing

gloves; before inserting urinary catheters, peripheral vascular catheters, or

invasive devices that do not require surgical placement; before donning

sterile gloves prior to an invasive procedure; if moving from a contaminated

body site to a clean body site; and after contact with objects contaminated

by the patient.

4. A nurse is performing hand hygiene after providing patient care. The

nurse's hands are not visibly soiled. Which steps in this procedure are

performed correctly? Select all that apply. - ✔✔4. b, e, f. Proper hand

hygiene includes removing jewelry with the exception of a plain wedding

band, wetting the hands and wrist area with the hands lower than the

elbows, using about one teaspoon of liquid soap, using friction motion for at

least 15 seconds, washing to one inch above the wrists with a friction

motion for at least 15 seconds, and rinsing thoroughly with water flowing

toward fingertips.

5. The nurse has opened the sterile supplies and put on two sterile gloves

to complete a sterile dressing change, a procedure that requires surgical

asepsis. The nurse must: - ✔✔5. d. Considering the outer inch of a

sterile field as contaminated is a principle of surgical asepsis. Moisture

such as from splashes contaminates the sterile field, and sneezing would

contaminate the sterile gloves. Forceps soaked in disinfectant are not

considered sterile.

6. The nurse caring for patients in a hospital setting institutes CDC

standard precaution recommendations for which category of patients? -

✔✔6. d. Standard precautions apply to all patients receiving care in

hospitals, regardless of their diagnosis or possible infection status. These

recommendations include blood; all body fluids, secretions, and excretions

except sweat; nonintact skin; and mucous membranes.

7. In addition to standard precautions, the nurse would initiate droplet

precautions for which patients? Select all that apply. - ✔✔7. a, b, f.

Rubella, diphtheria, and adenovirus infection are illnesses transmitted by

large-particle droplets and require droplet precautions in addition to

standard precautions. Airborne precautions are used for patients who have

infections spread through the air with small particles, for example,

tuberculosis, varicella, and rubeola. Contact precautions are used for

patients who are infected or colonized by a multidrug-resistant organism

(MDRO), such as MRSA.

8. A nurse is preparing a sterile field using a packaged sterile drape for a

confused patient who is scheduled for a surgical procedure. When setting

up the field, the patient accidentally touches an instrument in the sterile

field. What is the appropriate nursing action in this situation? - ✔✔8. c. If

the patient touches a sterile field, the nurse should discard the supplies and

prepare a new sterile field. If the patient is confused, the nurse should have

someone assist by holding the patient's hand and reinforcing what is

happening.

9. A nurse who created a sterile field for a patient is adding a sterile

solution to the field. What is an appropriate action when performing this
