e. Perform hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient.
f. Administer antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgical incision.
ANS: A, E
Performing hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient helps to
decrease the number of microorganisms and break the chain of infection.
Maintaining blood glucose levels at less than 150 mg/dL has resulted in
decreased wound infection. Removing unwanted hair by clipping instead of
shaving decreases the numbers of nicks and cuts caused by a razor and the
potential for the introduction of microbes. The patient is postoperative;
administration of an antibiotic 60 minutes before the surgical incision supports
the defense against infection preoperatively. Providing a bath and linen change
daily is positive but is not necessarily important for infection control. Many
surgeons prefer to change surgical dressings the first time so they can inspect
the incisional area, but this is done before 2 days postoperatively.
