OSHA lists standard safeguards to protect workers from health hazards related to
blood-borne pathogens. The reason for the standards is there is: CORRECT
ANSWERS a significant health risk associated with exposure to blood
How is Hepatitis B transmitted? CORRECT ANSWERS By sexual and/or blood-to-blood
contact
Which Hepatitis is the cause of most liver transplants? CORRECT ANSWERS Hepatitis
C
The virus that causes AIDS is CORRECT ANSWERS Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV)
How are blood-borne pathogens spread? CORRECT ANSWERS Person is susceptible
to the pathogen
Pathogen must be present
Pathogen enters through the correct entry site
Quantity of pathogen present is enough to cause disease
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
Judicious anti-microbial selection and utilization
Optimal management of vascular and urinary catheters
Prevention of lower respiratory tract infections in intubated patients
T/F: Common multi drug resistant organisms include methicillin-resistant
staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistance enterococci (VRE).
CORRECT ANSWERS True
T/F: 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
, T/F: Repeated and improper use of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in
drug resistant bacteria. CORRECT ANSWERS True
*Scenario* By definition, how would this fall be classified? CORRECT ANSWERS
Anticipated physiological fall
The nurse is completing an in-patient admission assessment 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
Decreased visual acuity, walks with a cane, and has arthritis
The nurse is determining steps that could be taken to reduce the patient's extrinsic risks
for falls. Which nursing intervention could the nurse plan to REDUCE the patient's
extrinsic fall risk? CORRECT ANSWERS Condition of the flooring surfaces
Bathroom support equipment for the toilet and the shower
Availability of needed assistive devices
Type and condition of footwear
Lighting in the patient's room
Proper use of assistive devices
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 encompasses a number of
different interventions and targets multiple risk factors
What is one 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 CDC, what is the purpose of Standard Precautions? *BEST answer
situation* CORRECT ANSWERS Protect healthcare practitioners and patients from the
spread of infections
What are the components of Standard Precautions? CORRECT ANSWERS Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE)
Sage handling of potentially contaminated equipment and surfaces in the patient
environment
Hand Hygiene
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 involve contact
