DaVita RISE Module Quiz
Questions with100% Correct answers
Most adults with a healthy immune system recover completely from hep B while
the majority of dialysis patients with HBV develop chronic liver disease
ANS: True
Quiz A false-positive HBsAg reading may occur when the patient's blood sample is
drawn shortly after the hep B vaccine is given
ANS: True
Quiz Policy states that hemodialysis patients with a possible vaccine-induced
false-positive HBsAg reading are to dialyze in either an isolation room or area.
ANS: false
Quiz HBV-susceptible patients are to be tested every 60 days for hep B surface
antigens
ANS: false
Quiz Hepatitis B surface-antibody protected patients are to be tested annually for
antibodies (HbsAb)
,ANS: true
Quiz if the HBsAb titer of a previously vaccinated patient decreases from at or
above 10 ml/u/ml to less than 10, policy states this patient should receive
ANS: a booster with follow up HBsAb testing
Quiz Monthly HBsAg testing is required
ANS: whenever the total core antibody is positive regardless of surface antibody
status (unless the patient is in isolation)
whenever surface antibodies are < 10 in patients who are hep B surface antigen
negative
Quiz Patients should be removed from isolation
ANS: only in consultation with the infection preventionist
Quiz Reactivation of hep B can occur in patients
ANS: with HIV or who are transplant recipients
receiving antiviral or immunosuppressive therapies
with declining HBsAb < 10
Quiz HBsAg positive patients receiving antiviral therapy who lose HBsAg positive
status (become HBsAg negative) should remain in isolation due to the following
ANS: risk of reactivation
isolation does not pose a risk of hep B reinfection as these patients are immune to
reinfection
, Quiz Colonization occurs when microorganisms take up residence either in or on
the body and signs of an infection are present
ANS: true
Quiz hands are the most common cause of cross-contamination in health care
settings
ANS: true
Quiz alcohol-based hand rub technique may be substituted for hand washing if
hands are not visibly contaminated
ANS: true
Quiz soap and water will kill microorganisms more effectively than alcohol-based
hand rub
ANS: false
Quiz intact surface integrity allows for effective cleaning and limits the potential
for microbial growth on a porous surface
ANS: true
Quiz cleaning blood pressure cuffs between patients helps remove
microorganisms that may be colonized in a patient's axillary area such as MRSA
ANS: true
Quiz teammates and patients hands should washed in a sink designated as dirty
ANS: false
