SRNA UK Test 1 Questions With Correct
Answers
How does soap work?
| | |
A. Creates a sheetlike microscopic barrier between the skin and
| | | | | | | | | |
microorganisms in the environment | | |
B. Emulsifies fat and oil so that dirt and microorganisms can be
| | | | | | | | | | | |
mechanically removed |
C. Kills all microorganisms exposed to the lather
| | | | | | |
D. Removes visible soiling but is ineffective in isolating, removing, or
| | | | | | | | | | |
killing microorganisms - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-B. Emulsifies fat and oil
| | | | | | | | |
so that dirt and microorganisms can be mechanically removed
| | | | | | | |
B/c Soap cleanses by emulsifying fat and oil and lowering surface
| | | | | | | | | | |
tension. Friction and rubbing mechanically loosen and remove dirt and
| | | | | | | | | |
transient bacteria. Soap does not create a protective barrier. Plain soap
| | | | | | | | | | |
does not kill microorganisms. Antimicrobial soap may inactivate some
| | | | | | | | |
surface bacteria but does not kill all bacteria exposed to the lather. Use
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
of soap and warm water removes visible dirt and proteinaceous
| | | | | | | | | |
material, such as blood and other body fluids.

What is the primary purpose of appropriate hand hygiene?
| | | | | | | |
A. To remove all microorganisms from the hands
| | | | | | |
, B. To prevent or control the transmission of infectious microorganisms
| | | | | | | | | |
from any source | |
C. To leave a protective antimicrobial film on the hands
| | | | | | | | |
D. To minimize exposure to microorganisms on contaminated sinks,
| | | | | | | | |
medication containers, catheters, and other hard surfaces - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-To prevent or control the transmission of infectious | | | | | | | |
microorganisms from any source | | |
The purpose of proper hand hygiene is to prevent and/or control the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
transmission of infection, regardless of the source. Effective infection-
| | | | | | | |
control practices aim to break the links in the chain of infection. By
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
definition, the removal of all microorganisms from the hands would
| | | | | | | | | |
render the hands sterile. Proper hand hygiene can reduce the number
| | | | | | | | | | |
of microorganisms on the skin but cannot eliminate microorganisms
| | | | | | | | |
entirely. Hand washing with plain or antimicrobial soap aids in the
| | | | | | | | | | |
removal of microorganisms but does not leave behind an antimicrobial
| | | | | | | | | |
film or other protective barrier. Proper hand hygiene reduces the
| | | | | | | | | |
likelihood of picking up or leaving behind microorganisms on hard
| | | | | | | | | |
surfaces, such as bed rails. Such surfaces, however, are just one kind of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
reservoir. In fact, infection usually spreads from patient to patient by
| | | | | | | | | | |
contact not with hard surfaces, but with health care workers' hands. The
| | | | | | | | | | |
|primary purpose of performing hand hygiene is to prevent or control
| | | | | | | | | | |
the transmission of infection from any source.
| | | | | |
In which situation would it be appropriate for the nurse to use an
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
antiseptic hand rub to perform hand hygiene?| | | | | |
A. The nurse has dry, cracked skin.
