The nurse is aware that an antiviral medication is most effective when given
during which phase of the infectious process?
A) Prodromal stage
B) Incubation period
C) Full stage of illness
D) Convalescent period - ANSWER-A
When given during the prodromal stage of certain viruses, antiviral medications
can shorten the full stage of the illness. Which of the following most accurately
defines an infection?
A) An illness resulting from living in an unclean environment
B) The result of lack of knowledge about food preparation
,C) A disease resulting from pathogens in or on the body
D) An acute or chronic illness resulting from traumatic injury - ANSWER-C
An infection is a disease state that results from the presence of pathogens
(disease-producing microorganisms) in or on the body.
A client who has had abdominal surgery develops an infection in the wound while
still hospitalized. Which of the following agents is most likely the cause of the
infection?
A) Virus
B) Bacteria
C) Fungi
D) Spores - ANSWER-B
Some of the more prevalent agents that cause infection are bacteria, viruses, and
fungi. Bacteria are the most significant and most commonly observed infection-
causing agents in health care institutions.
A nurse caring for a client who has gas gangrene knows that this infection
originated in which of the following reservoirs?
A) Other people
B) Food
C) Soil
D) Animals - ANSWER-C
,The soil can act as a reservoir; the organisms that cause gas gangrene and tetanus
are examples of pathogens whose reservoir is soil. Nurses can serve as reservoirs
and inadvertently transfer pathogenic organisms to clients. For example, a nurse
with artificial nails may harbor a large number and variety of microbes under the
nails. Undercooked ground beef, tomatoes, and bagged spinach are reservoirs that
have been identified as responsible for recent outbreaks of E. coli infections. The
rabies virus is an example of a pathogen whose reservoir is various animals,
notably dogs, squirrels, bats, and raccoons.
A client with an upper respiratory infection (common cold) tells the nurse, "I am
so angry with the nurse practitioner because he would not give me any
antibiotics." What would be the most accurate response by the nurse?
A) "Antibiotics have no effect on viruses."
B) "Let me talk to him and see what we can do."
C) "Why do you think you need an antibiotic?"
D) "I know what you mean; you need an antibiotic." - ANSWER-A
Viruses are the smallest of all microorganisms. Viruses, including the common
cold and AIDS, cause many infections. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
A woman tests positive for the human immunodeficiency virus antibody but has
no symptoms. She is considered a carrier. What component of the infection cycle
does the woman illustrate?
A) A reservoir
B) An infectious agent
, C) A portal of exit
D) A portal of entry - ANSWER-A
Humans may act as reservoirs for an infectious agent and not exhibit any
manifestations of the disease. They are considered carriers and can transmit the
disease. In this case, the woman is the reservoir for the HIV virus.
A man on an airplane is sitting by a woman who is coughing and sneezing. If she
has an infection, what is the most likely means of transmission from the woman to
the man?
A) Direct contact
B) Indirect contact
C) V ectors
D) Airborne route - ANSWER-D
An organism may be transmitted from its reservoir by various means or routes.
Microorganisms can be spread through the airborne route when an infected host
coughs, sneezes, or talks or when the organism becomes attached to dust
particles.
A nurse is caring for an adolescent who is diagnosed with mononucleosis,
commonly called "the kissing disease." The nurse explains that the organisms
causing this disease were transmitted by:
A) direct contact.
B) indirect contact.
