,This study document brings together 49 carefully worded exam questions drawn from RNSG 1517
Protection and Regulation Semester 1 Quiz 2026 Complete Question Practice Exam with Answers
and Expert Explanations, with the strongest emphasis placed on Apply principles of surgical
asepsis and sterile technique to maintain a sterile field during invasive procedures, Differentiate the
chain of infection and implement evidence-based infection prevention and control strategies and
Analyze risk factors and implement prevention strategies for pressure injuries and impaired tissue
integrity. Every item follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper,
and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work through
the set at your own pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to them until the
reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the
pattern behind the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest
practice is what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 APPLY PRINCIPLES OF SURGICAL ASEPSIS AND STERILE TECHNIQUE TO MAINTAIN A
STERILE FIELD DURING INVASIVE PROCEDURES
A patient with a new colostomy has a wound culture positive for
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which action by the nurse is
most important to prevent transmission?
A. Place the patient in a negative-pressure room.
B. Wear a gown and gloves for all contact with the patient. CORRECT
C. Use a surgical mask when within 3 feet of the patient.
D. Ensure the patient wears a mask during transport.
RATIONALE: MRSA is transmitted via contact, so gown and gloves are required for all contact.
Negative-pressure rooms are for airborne precautions (e.g., tuberculosis). Surgical masks are not
required for contact precautions unless splash risk exists. Patient masking is for droplet
precautions.

, Q2 APPLY PRINCIPLES OF SURGICAL ASEPSIS AND STERILE TECHNIQUE TO MAINTAIN A
STERILE FIELD DURING INVASIVE PROCEDURES
A nurse is assessing a patient with a stage 3 pressure injury on the sacrum. Which
finding requires immediate intervention?
A. The wound bed is 100% red granulation tissue.
B. The periwound skin is macerated and pale. CORRECT
C. The wound has a moderate amount of serosanguineous drainage.
D. The patient reports pain at the wound site.
RATIONALE: Macerated and pale periwound skin indicates moisture-associated skin damage
and possible ischemia, requiring immediate intervention to prevent further breakdown. Red
granulation tissue indicates healing. Serosanguineous drainage can be normal. Pain is expected
but not the priority over compromised skin integrity.
Q3 APPLY PRINCIPLES OF SURGICAL ASEPSIS AND STERILE TECHNIQUE TO MAINTAIN A
STERILE FIELD DURING INVASIVE PROCEDURES
A nurse is preparing to administer a high-alert medication via IV push. Which
action best demonstrates the nurse's understanding of safe medication
administration?
A. Verify the medication with a second nurse before administration. CORRECT
B. Administer the medication rapidly to ensure therapeutic effect.
C. Document the medication before administration to save time.
D. Use a single nurse verification for all high-alert medications.
RATIONALE: High-alert medications require independent double-check by a second nurse to
prevent errors. Rapid administration can cause harm. Documentation should occur after
administration. Single-nurse verification is not best practice for high-alert medications.
