QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\
Physiological needs which influence safety include: - CORRECT |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Sufficient oxygen, nutrition, & optimum
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
temperature
(These must be met before physical & psychological safety &
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
security can be addressed) |\ |\ |\
What is the leading cause of burns, reported fires, deaths, &
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
injuries involving home medical oxygen? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Smoking
A furnace, stove, or fireplace that is not properly vented
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
introduces what into the environment? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Carbon monoxide |\
How does carbon monoxide affect a person? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔It binds to hemoglobin, preventing the formation of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
oxyhemoglobin and thus reducing the supply of oxygen delivered |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to tissues.
|\ |\
How long does it take for very high doses of carbon monoxide to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
kill a person? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1 - 3 minutes of exposure
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,What factors increase risk of falling? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔History of falling |\ |\
65 years or older
|\ |\ |\
Reduced vision |\
Orthostatic hypotension |\ |\
Lower-extremity weakness |\
Gait & balance
|\ |\
Urinary incontinence |\
Improper use of walking aids |\ |\ |\ |\
Various medications |\
HIV, aids, and hepatitis B virus or transmitted how? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Blood, and other select body fluids
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is adverse event? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An event that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
results in unintended harm to the patient by an act of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
commission/omission rather than disease or condition. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
|\ Commission: irresponsible act you do |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
|\ Omission: act you choose not to do and affect someone else
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is a near miss? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An error of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
commission/omission that could have harmed the patient, but |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
serious harm did not occur as a result of chance, prevention,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mitigation.
,What is a sentinel event? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
unexpected occurrence involving death, serious physical or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
psychological injury. |\
(Loss of limb/function, "sentinel" = immediate investigation)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What are diagnostic errors? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The result
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of delay in diagnosis
|\ |\ |\
Failure to employee indicated test
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Use of outmoded test
|\ |\ |\ |\
Failure to act on results of test
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is a treatment error? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Occurs in the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
performance of an operation.
|\ |\ |\ |\
(Procedure, test, administering treatment; dose/method of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
administering a drug; or an avoidable delay in treatment or in |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
responding to an abnormal test) |\ |\ |\ |\
What are preventative errors? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Failures
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to provide prophylactic treatment and in adequate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
monitoring/follow-up of treatment.
|\ |\ |\ |\
(Realizing somethings wrong and not correcting it)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, What is an active error? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Errors made by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
those who are providing care, responding to patient's needs at
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
"sharp end."
|\ |\
(Sharp end correlates with direct patient care, placement of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
error)
What is a latent error? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔More
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
organizational, contextual, and diffuse in nature or design |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
related. Errors at the "blunt end"
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(Blunt end correlates with Organized systems, placement of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
error)
What does "just culture" refer to? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Seeks
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to find a balance between the need to learn from mistakes and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the need for disciplinary action against employees.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(People are not punished for a flawed system. There are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
exceptions.)
What antecedents need to exist in order for safety to be a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
concept? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Knowledge of risk
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
|\ Professional accountability |\ |\
|\ Motivation to achieve safety |\ |\ |\ |\
|\ Effective system process |\ |\ |\
|\ Collaboration
