NESA EXAM 2023 STUDY GUIDE WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION
OSHA lists standard safeguards to protect workers from health hazards related to
blood-borne pathogens. The reason for these standards is there is:
a significant health risk associated with exposure to blood.
How is Hep B transmitted?
By sexual and/or blood-blood contact.
Which hepatitis is the cause of most liver transplants?
Hep C
The virus that causes AIDS is
Human Immunodeficiency Virus
How are blood borne pathogens spread?
Person is susceptible to the pathogen
Quantity of pathogen present is enough to cause disease
Pathogen enters through the correct entry site
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 multi drug
resistant organism?
The microorganisms have become so resistant that no available antibiotics are effective
against them.
Prevention of multi drug 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?
Accurate diagnosis of infectious etiologies
Optimal management of vascular and urinary catheters
Prevention of lower respiratory tract infections in intubated patients
Report all contamination errors that occur during any procedure
Common multi drug resistant organisms include (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 primarily 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
at the highest risk for a fall? The patient who has:
