Section 1. Infection Prevention and Standard
Precautions
Chain of infection, standard precautions, transmission-based precautions, bloodborne
pathogens, and OSHA requirements for nursing assistants.
Q1. [Chain of infection components]
The six links in the chain of infection, in order, are:
A. Handwashing, gloves, masks, gowns, disinfection, sterilization
B. OSHA, CDC, FDA, EPA, HICPAC, APIC
C. Infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry,
and susceptible host
D. Airborne, contact, droplet, common vehicle, vectorborne, nosocomial
Answer: C. Infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and
susceptible host
Rationale: The chain of infection comprises the infectious agent, reservoir (where it lives), portal
of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host. Breaking any link (e.g.,
handwashing breaks transmission) prevents the spread of infection.
Q2. [Standard precautions scope]
Standard precautions apply to:
A. Only residents known to have HIV
B. Only residents with diagnosed infections
C. Only when blood is visibly present
D. All residents in all healthcare settings, regardless of suspected or confirmed
diagnosis, because blood and body fluids may carry infectious agents
Answer: D. All residents in all healthcare settings, regardless of suspected or confirmed
diagnosis, because blood and body fluids may carry infectious agents
Rationale: Standard precautions, expanded from universal precautions, apply to all residents in
all settings. They assume all blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions (except sweat), non-intact
skin, and mucous membranes may be infectious, and require hand hygiene and PPE as needed.
Q3. [Handwashing indications]
The nursing assistant should perform hand hygiene in all of the following situations
EXCEPT:
CNA_Chapter_6_Exam_Questions_and_Answers_2026_2027.pdf | Stuvia Actual Exam | Page 1
, A. Before and after contact with a resident
B. After donning clean gloves for routine care (gloves do not replace handwashing;
hand hygiene is needed before and after glove use)
C. After contact with body fluids
D. After removing gloves
Answer: B. After donning clean gloves for routine care (gloves do not replace handwashing; hand
hygiene is needed before and after glove use)
Rationale: Hand hygiene is required before and after resident contact, after contact with body
fluids or potentially contaminated surfaces, after removing gloves, and before eating. Gloves do
not eliminate the need for handwashing because microscopic tears or contamination may occur.
Q4. [Contact transmission precautions]
Contact precautions are required for residents with which type of infection?
A. Infections spread by direct or indirect contact, such as MRSA, VRE, C. difficile,
scabies, and lice
B. Infections spread by airborne droplet nuclei, such as tuberculosis
C. Infections spread by large respiratory droplets, such as influenza
D. Common cold only
Answer: A. Infections spread by direct or indirect contact, such as MRSA, VRE, C. difficile,
scabies, and lice
Rationale: Contact precautions prevent transmission of organisms spread by direct contact
(resident-to-staff) or indirect contact (contaminated surfaces). Examples include MRSA, VRE, C.
difficile, RSV, scabies, and lice. Gloves and gowns are required, and dedicated equipment is used.
Q5. [Droplet transmission precautions]
Droplet precautions require the nursing assistant to:
A. Wear an N95 respirator
B. Maintain negative pressure ventilation
C. Skip standard precautions entirely
D. Wear a surgical mask when within 3 feet (1 meter) of the resident, place the
resident in a private room or cohort, and have the resident wear a mask during
transport
Answer: D. Wear a surgical mask when within 3 feet (1 meter) of the resident, place the resident
in a private room or cohort, and have the resident wear a mask during transport
Rationale: Droplet precautions are for organisms spread by large respiratory droplets (sneeze,
cough, talking) traveling up to 3 feet. Examples include influenza, pertussis, meningococcal
meningitis, mumps, and rubella. The NA wears a surgical mask within 3 feet and uses a private
room or cohort.
Q6. [Airborne precautions requirements]
Airborne precautions for a resident with tuberculosis require:
A. A positive pressure room
B. A negative-pressure airborne infection isolation room (AIIR), N95 respirator or
higher for staff and visitors, and the resident wearing a surgical mask during
