NEWEST VERSION 2024-2025 EXPECTED 45 QUESTION
AND CORRECT ANSWER FROM VERIFIED SOURCES
RATED A GRADE.
Evidence Based Practice ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Evidence-based practice (EBP)
in nursing is a problem-solving approach to making clinical decisions,
using the best evidence available (considered "best" because it is
collected from sources such as published research, national standards
and guidelines, and reviews of targeted literature).
Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Older Adults ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Integrity vs.
Despair
People in late adulthood reflect on their lives and feel either a sense of
satisfaction or a sense of failure. People who feel proud of their
accomplishments feel a sense of integrity, and they can look back on
their lives with few regrets.
Droplet Precautions ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Droplet Precautions:
Use a private room, if available. Door may remain open.
Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may involve
contact with the patient and potentially contaminated areas in the
patient's environment.
, Transport patient out of room only when necessary and place a surgical
mask on the patient if possible.
Keep visitors 3 ft from the infected person.
Why are masks beneficial with droplet precautions?
✔✔ANSWER✔✔Masks help prevent the wearer from inhaling large-
particle aerosols, which usually travel short distances (about 3 ft), and
small-particle droplet nuclei, which can remain suspended in the air and
travel longer distances. Masks also protect the patient from the
respiratory secretions of the health care worker. Masks discourage the
wearer from touching the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus limiting contact
of organisms with mucous membranes.
Cough Etiquette ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Any patients, family members, and
visitors with undiagnosed, transmissible respiratory infections require
education to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing
and promptly dispose of the tissue. During periods of increased
occurrence of respiratory infections, offer a surgical mask to coughing
patients and other symptomatic people upon entry to the health care
facility or office. Encourage the coughing patient to maintain more than
a 3-ft separation from other people in the health care facility or office.
Factors Affecting Risk for Infection ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Factors affecting the
risk for infection include: integrity of mucous membranes, pH levels of
the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, immune response, age,
sex, race, heredity, level of fatigue, nutritional status, stress level, use of
