NESA EXAM COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS (2024)
OSHA lists standard safeguards to protect workers from health hazards related to
blood-borne pathogens. The reason for these standards is there is: CORRECT
ANSWERS a significant health risk associated with exposure to blood.
How is Hep B transmitted? CORRECT ANSWERS By sexual and/or blood-blood
contact.
Which hepatitis is the cause of most liver transplants? CORRECT ANSWERS Hep C
The virus that causes AIDS is CORRECT ANSWERS Human Immunodeficiency Virus
How are blood borne pathogens spread? CORRECT ANSWERS 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? CORRECT
ANSWERS Standard precautions
What is the major difficulty in treating a client with a condition caused by a multi drug
resistant organism? CORRECT ANSWERS 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? CORRECT ANSWERS 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) CORRECT ANSWERS TRUE
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or
eliminates the effectiveness of substances designed to cure/prevent infections
CORRECT ANSWERS TRUE
Repeated and improper use of antibiotics are primarily causes of the increase in drug
resistant bacteria CORRECT ANSWERS 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? CORRECT ANSWERS 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: CORRECT ANSWERS A history of
diabetes for 25 years, has fallen at home occasionally, wears shoes anytime he is out of
bed, and understands the sensations in his feet are limited.
The nurse is determining steps that could be taken to reduce the patient's extrinsic risk
for falls. Which nursing intervention could the nurse plan to reduce the patient's fall risk?
CORRECT ANSWERS Availability of needed assistive devices
Condition of the flooring surfaces
Bathroom support equipment for the toilet and shower
Lighting in the patient's room
When developing a risk management plan take into account that there is no single risk
factor or single approach solution. The plan must be multidisciplinary and multi-factorial
in approach and be tailored to the individual. Which fall prevention program is most
likely to be effective? One which CORRECT ANSWERS is designed and overseen by a
multi-disciplinary team that uses a patient education approach.
What is the benefit of implementing a standardized fall risk assessment at the time of
admission? CORRECT ANSWERS All necessary fall prevention resources that target
the specific risk factors can be implemented early.
According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), what is the purpose of Standard
Precautions? CORRECT ANSWERS Protect healthcare practitioners and patients from
the spread of infections.
What are the components of Standard Precautions? CORRECT ANSWERS Personal
Protective Equipment
Safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment and surfaces in the patient
environment
Hand Hygiene
What is the difference between Standard Precautions and Transmission Precautions?
Transmission Precautions are CORRECT ANSWERS Used when the routes of
transmission are not completely interrupted by Standard Precautions alone.
When Contact Precautions are to be implemented, what protection is required of all
healthcare personnel providing care to the patient? CORRECT ANSWERS Donning
gown and gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or
potentially contaminated surfaces.
