response to any tissue injury.
2. Chemical mediator released during the inflammatory response include which
of the following?
1. Histamine and prostaglandins
2. Growth factors and cell enzymes
3. Macrophages and neutrophils
4. Albumin and fibrinogen - ANSWER ✔ Histamine and prostaglandins
3. Pain and increased capillary permeability are the result from the release of
chemical mediators following a moderate burn injury. T or F. - ANSWER ✔
TRUE
4. Migration of leukocytes to the area is the last step in the inflammatory
response after a tissue injury. T or F. - ANSWER ✔ TRUE
5. Macrophages are nonspecific agents that protect uninfected cells against
viruses. T or F. - ANSWER ✔ FALSE
,6. The process of phagocytosis involves which of the following?
1. Shift of fluid and protein out of capillaries
2. Movement of erythrocytes through the capillary wall
3. Formation of a fibrin mesh around the infected area
Ingestion of foreign material and cell debris by leukocytes - ANSWER ✔
Ingestion of foreign material and cell debris by leukocytes
7. Hand hygiene with soap and water should be performed for at least 5
seconds.
True/False - ANSWER ✔ FALSE
(15 seconds is correct)
8. Systemic agents are more effective because they are not affected by wound
exudates.
True/False - ANSWER ✔ TRUE
9. Antiseptics are useful as prophylaxis.
True/False - ANSWER ✔ TRUE
10.A nurse is caring for a patient with an infection caused by Bacillus anthracis.
Which action is most important for reducing the transmission of this
disease?
Using an alcohol-based hand rub after each patient contact.
Wearing gloves while caring for the patient.
, Disinfecting the bedpan with an antiseptic solution.
Using antibacterial hand soap when washing the hands. - ANSWER ✔
Answer: Using antibacterial hand soap when washing the hands.
Explanation: Using an antibacterial hand soap is the most important action
because only antimicrobial soap is effective against a spore-forming
bacterium such as B. anthracis.
11.Povidone-iodine is used prophylactically to prevent postoperative infection.
True/False - ANSWER ✔ TRUE
12.Hydrogen peroxide is used initially to clean wounds because the frothing
that occurs when catalase liberates oxygen loosens debris and facilities the
cleansing of a dirty wound.
True/False - ANSWER ✔ TRUE
13.One of two types of cell walls, gram-positive or gram-negative, which differ
primarily in the thickness of the peptidoglycan in the wall
Organisms that do not require living tissue to survive - ANSWER ✔
Bacteria
14.Unicellular, usually motile, and lack a cell wall - ANSWER ✔ Protozoa
THINK: PrOtOzOa = mOtile
It consists of a protein coat, or capsid, and a core of either DNA or RNA
, 15.Examples: Influenza, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, West Nile - ANSWER ✔
Viruses
16.Are frequently considered beneficial because they are important in the
production of yogurt, beer, and other foods
17.Examples: athlete's foot, candida, and histoplasmosis - ANSWER ✔ Fungi
18.May be ingested in contaminated food or water in the form of ova or larvae
19.Mechanism of inflammation - ANSWER ✔ - Inflammation is a general and
nonspecific response
20.Inflammation triggers - ANSWER ✔ Tissue injury
Infection by invading organisms
21.SIgns of Inflammation - ANSWER ✔ Warmth
Redness
Swelling
Pain
Decreased function
22.Which purpose does inflammation serve for the body? - ANSWER ✔
Protects from further injury
