Questions and CORRECT Answers
OSHA lists standard safeguards to protect workers from health hazards related to blood-borne
pathogens. The reason for the standards is there is: - CORRECT ANSWER - A significant
health risk associated with exposure to blood.
How is Hepatitis B transmitted? - CORRECT ANSWER - By sexual and/or blood-to-
blood contact.
Which Hepatitis is the cause of most liver transplants? - CORRECT ANSWER - Hepatitis
C
The virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS) is: - CORRECT
ANSWER - Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
How are blood-borne pathogens spread? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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
ANSWER - Standard precautions.
What is the major difficulty in treating a client with a condition caused by a multidrug resistant
organism? - CORRECT ANSWER - The microorganisms have become so resistant that no
available antibiotics are effective against them.
Prevention of multidrug resistant organisms in healthcare settings rely on appropriate clinical
practice that are incorporated into all routine patient care. What components are part of an
effective prevention plan? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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.
, Common multidrug resistant organisms include MRSA and VRE. - CORRECT
ANSWER - True
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the
effectiveness of substances designed to cure/prevent infections. - CORRECT ANSWER -
True
Repeated and improper use of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug resistant
bacteria. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
By definition how would this fall be classified? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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 ANSWER - 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 ANSWER - Condition of the flooring surfaces. Bathroom support equipment
for the toilet and 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 ANSWER - 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 ANSWER - All necessary fall prevention resources that target
the specific risk factors can be implemented early.
