STUDY GUIDE / EXPERT VERIFIED FOR GUARANTEED PASS/ALREADY GRADED A+
A resident is diagnosed with latent TB infection (LTBI). Is there risk that the resident will transmit TB to
others in the facility? Please select the best answer. - (ANSWER)Rationale:
A resident with LTBI has M. tuberculosis in the body but does not have signs or symptoms of TB disease
and cannot spread the infection to other people. Airborne Precautions are not required when caring for
residents with LTBI.
During January, there were five residents with central venous catheters (CVCs) for a total of 100
catheter-days. There were 4,000 resident-days for the month. There were two central line-associated
blood stream infections (CLABSIs) identified. What is the CLABSI rate for the month? Please select the
best answer. - (ANSWER)When calculating an infection rate, the denominator represents the population
at risk for the event during the timeframe defined for surveillance. Because only residents with a CVC
can experience a CLABSI, the correct denominator only counts the days when residents had the device.
In this example, the denominator would be 100 catheter-days. The numerator is the total number of
CLABSIs occurring during the timeframe of interest. In this example, there are two CLABSIs. A constant,
k, of 1,000 is used to standardize the rate. Therefore, the CLABSI rate calculation is two events divided
by 100 catheter-days multiplied by 1,000, which equals 20 CLABSIs per 1,000 catheter-days.
Removing a central venous catheter (CVC) that is no longer indicated most directly disrupts which part
of the chain of infection? Please select the best answer. - (ANSWER)Removing a central venous catheter
that is no longer indicated eliminates a portal of entry for pathogens.
What information should NOT be included on signage at room entry communicating that resident has
been placed on Transmission-Based Precautions? ?Please select the best answer. - (ANSWER)Rationale:
Signs placed at room entry to communicate when a resident has been placed on Transmission-Based
Precautions should include information about the category of Precautions (for example, Contact or
Droplet); what PPE staff should use when caring for the resident; and instructions for visitors. Signs
should NOT identify the specific indication for precautions or any other personal health information that
might violate privacy or resident dignity.
When should infection prevention and control (IPC) measures be implemented during an outbreak
investigation? Please select the best answer. - (ANSWER)Implementation of IPC measures to prevent
ongoing transmission should always be your top priority and should occur as soon as potentially
beneficial interventions are identified, even before the cause of the outbreak is confirmed. A facility
