EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
Q1.
A nurse is preparing to insert a peripheral IV. According to CDC hand hygiene guidelines, the nurse should
perform hand hygiene:
A. With alcohol-based hand sanitizer before donning gloves and after removing them
B. Only if hands are visibly soiled
C. With soap and water only
D. Only after the procedure
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hand hygiene must be performed before donning gloves and after removing them using an alcohol-based
sanitizer unless hands are visibly soiled. Soap and water are required for spores (e.g., C. difficile) or visible
contamination.
Q2.
A patient is on contact precautions for a draining infected wound. The nurse must don PPE in which order?
A. Gown, gloves, mask
B. Gown, mask, gloves
C. Gloves only
D. Mask, gown, gloves
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct PPE donning order is gown first, then mask or face shield, then gloves. This minimizes
contamination of clean attire and ensures gloves cover gown cuffs for full barrier protection.
Q3.
A patient on airborne precautions requires transport to radiology. The nurse should:
A. Have the patient wear an N95 respirator
B. Delay the procedure until isolation is discontinued
C. Limit transport to essential procedures only and apply a surgical mask to the patient
D. Transport the patient without a mask
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For airborne precautions (e.g., TB, measles), non-essential transport is deferred. When transport is
necessary, the patient wears a surgical mask to contain droplets. Staff wear N95 respirators in the room.
Q4.
The single most effective measure to prevent healthcare-associated infections is:
A. Environmental disinfection
B. Sterile gloves
C. Antibiotic prophylaxis
D. Proper hand hygiene
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hand hygiene remains the single most effective measure to prevent healthcare-associated infections.
Even with appropriate PPE, organisms on hands transmit to patients when hand hygiene is omitted between
contacts.
