,Chapter |1. |Disease |Prevention |& |Health |Promotion
1. |Which |of |the |following |behaviors |indicates |the |highest |potential |for |spreading |infections
|among |clients? |The |nurse:

|asepsis?

3) Applying |sterile |drapes
4) Wearing |a |gown
4. |A |patient |infected |with |a |virus |but |who |does |not |have |any |outward |sign |of |the |disease |is
|considered |a:
1) pathogen.
2) fomite.
3) vector.
4) carrier.
5. |A |patient |is |admitted |to |the |hospital |with |tuberculosis. |Which |precautions |must |the |nurse
|institute |when |caring |for |this |patient?
1) Droplet |transmission
2) Airborne |transmission
3) Direct |contact
4) Indirect |contact
, 6. |A |patient |becomes |infected |with |oral |candidiasis |(thrush) |while |receiving |intravenous
antibiotics |to |treat |a |systemic |infection. |Which |type |of |infection |has |the |patient |developed?
|
1) Endogenous |nosocomial
2) Exogenous |nosocomial
3) Latent
4) Primary
7.The |nurse |assists |a |surgeon |with |central |venous |catheter |insertion. |Which |action |is
|necessary |to |help |maintain |sterile |technique?
1) Closing |the |patients |door |to |limit |room |traffic |while |preparing |the |sterile |field
2) Using |clean |procedure |gloves |to |handle |sterile |equipment

4) Remaining |6 |inches |away |from |the |sterile |field |during |the |procedure
| | 8.A |patient |admitted |to |the |hospital |with |pneumonia |has |been |receiving |antibiotics |for |2
|days. |His |condition |has |stabilized, |and |his |temperature |has |returned |to |normal. |Which |stage |of
|infection |is |the |patient |most |likely |experiencing?

1) Phagocytosis
2) Complement |cascade
3) Inflammation
4) Immunity
10. |The |patient |suddenly |develops |hives, |shortness |of |breath, |and |wheezing |after |receiving |an
|antibiotic. |Which |antibody |is |primarily |responsible |for |this |patients |response?
1) IgA
2) IgE
3) IgG
4) IgM
11. |What |type |of |immunity |is |provided |by |intravenous |(IV) |administration |of

1) Cell-mediated
2) Passive
3) Humoral
4) Active
, 12. |A |patient |asks |the |nurse |why |there |is |no |vaccine |available |for |the |common |cold. |Which
response |by |the |nurse |is |correct?
|
1) The |virus |mutates |too |rapidly |to |develop |a |vaccine.
2) Vaccines |are |developed |only |for |very |serious |illnesses.
3) Researchers |are |focusing |efforts |on |an |HIV |vaccine.
4) The |virus |for |the |common |cold |has |not |been |identified.
1 |. |A |patient |who |has |a |temperature |of |101F |(38.3C) |most |likely|requires:
1) acetaminophen |(Tylenol).
2) increased |fluids.
3) bedrest.
4) tepid |bath.
14. |Why |is |a |lotion |without |petroleum |preferred |over |a |petroleum-based |product |as |a |skin
|protectant? |It:
1) Prevents |microorganisms |from |adhering |to |the |skin.
2) Facilitates |the |absorption |of |latex |proteins |through |the |skin.
3) Decreases |the |risk |of |latex |allergies.
4) Prevents |the |skin |from |drying |and |chaffing.
15. |For |which |range |of |time |must |a |nurse |wash |her |hands |before |working |in |the |operating
|room?
1) 1 |to |2 |minutes
2) 2 |to |4 |minutes
3) 2 |to |6 |minutes
4) 6 |to |10 |minutes
16. |How |should |the |nurse |dispose |of |the |breakfast |tray |of |a |patient |who |requires |airborne
|isolation?
1) Place |the |tray |in |a |specially |marked |trash |can |inside |the |patients |room.
Place |the |tray |in |a |special |isolation |bag |held |by |a |second |healthcare |worker |at |the
2) patients |door.
Return |the |tray |with |a |note |to |dietary |services |so |it |can |be |cleaned |and |reused |for |the
3) next |meal.
Carry|the |tray |to |an |isolation |trash |receptacle |located |in |the |dirty |utility |room |and
4) dispose |of |it |there.
1 |. |How |much |liquid |soap |should |the |nurse |use |for |effective |hand |washing? |At |least:
1) 2 |mL
2) 3 |mL
3) 6 |mL
4) 7 |mL
