Infectious Disease
An RN is supervising an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) at a nursing home.
The UAP states that they have viral conjunctivitis and will be glad when the shift is
over. Which is the most immediate instruction the RN should provide to the UAP?
"Make sure not to share towels or makeup."
"Wear dark glasses if the light bothers you."
"Cold compresses applied for 10 minutes, 4 to 5 times a day, may help with the
pain."
"You will need to go home and not return to work until your medical doctor has
cleared you to return to work." - (ANSWER)1) This is a true statement, but not
the most important.
2) This is a true statement, but not the most important.
3) This is a true statement, but not the most important.

*4) Viral conjunctivitis is very contagious. The UAP should stay home and not
return for 7 days or when a medical doctor allows. There is too high of a risk to
spread this to the residents.
Infectious Disease
A 52-year-old patient has repeatedly visited a clinic, reporting multiple
generalized signs and symptoms. The patient's laboratory test results reveal a
positive HBsAg. What would this laboratory test result indicate to the RN?
The patient has active hepatitis B.
The patient has immunity to hepatitis B.
The patient has had the hepatitis vaccine.
The patient has not been exposed to hepatitis B. - (ANSWER)*1) HBsAg is the
hepatitis B surface antigen and is a marker of active infection. An elevated level
would demonstrate active hepatitis B.
2) HBsAg does not demonstrate immunity.
3) See 1).
4) This is not possible, since the patient has active hepatitis B.

Infectious Disease
A 33-year-old patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) explains
that they are uncomfortable being with and talking to people, because they feel
stigmatized by having the disease. The patient expresses feelings of being alone,
without friends, and separate from the world. Which nursing intervention would
best support the patient's coping?
Role-play social interactions with the patient.
Request a psychiatric consult for the patient.
Refer the patient to an AIDS support group.
Encourage the patient to join a recreational club. - (ANSWER)1) Role playing
general social interactions will not address the issue of feeling stigmatized and
alone. If the patient was trying to cope with how to tell a significant other/family
member that they have AIDS, role playing to practice what to say could be
valuable.
2) There is no information in the question which suggests that the patient is in
need of psychiatric help. The patient feels stigmatized and alone, but is not acting
out or threatening harm to self or others.
*3) Referral to an AIDS support group would best support coping because of the
feelings of stigma and separateness. In an AIDS support group, the patient will not
be different because of the disease.
, 4
4) Before this patient will be ready to join a recreational club and meet new
people, they must cope with feelings of being stigmatized; this can best be done
within a supportive group of fellow AIDS victims.

A 3-year-old patient with scarlet fever
A 5-year-old patient with primary tuberculosis (TB) started on medication 48
hours earlier
An 8-year-old patient with suspected mumps
A 10-year-old patient with Shigella
A 12-year-old patient with a history of Clostridium difficile (C-diff) infection -
(ANSWER)1) Hepatitis E is spread by contact, not droplets.
