Questions and CORRECT Answers
_______________ exposure to radiation can increase the risk of cancer.
- Rare
- Repeated
- Shielded
- Shaded - CORRECT ANSWER - - Repeated
Repeated exposure to radiation can increase the risk of radiation. Remember the goal is ALARA:
Keep your exposure to radiation As Low As Reasonably Achievable.
Accrediting organizations expect hospitals to implement practices to prevent healthcare-
associated infections (HAI). One important practice is _________________.
- double-gloving to protect healthcare workers
- proper hand hygiene
- division of responsibility
- use of quarantine precautions for contagious patients - CORRECT ANSWER - - proper
hand hygiene
National Patient Safety Goal 7 includes proper hand hygiene.
What measures can healthcare professionals take to reduce the chance that you will get or spread
resistant pathogens?
- Ordering antibiotics for colds and flu just in case the cause is bacterial
, - Ordering broad-spectrum antibiotics for most bacterial infections
- Getting vaccinated to prevent vaccine-preventable diseases such as hepatitis B and influenza
- All of these - CORRECT ANSWER - - Getting vaccinated to prevent vaccine-
preventable diseases such as hepatitis B and influenza
Inappropriate use of antibiotics for viral infections and using broad-spectrum antimicrobials

the easiest.
Projectile effects are a hazard in __________________.
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fields
- pediatric units
- emesis stations
- operating theaters - CORRECT ANSWER - - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fields
Ferromagnetic objects are attracted to the magnet at the center of an MRI system. They can
become dangerous projectiles (the "projectile effect").
