Solutions.
colonization - Answer replication of infectious agents w/o immune response
infection - Answer entry and multiplication of infectious agent in tissue of host, resulting in
immune response with or w/o disease
pathogen - Answer infectious agent
chain of infection - Answer 1. Infectious Agent - microorganisms. 2. Resevoir - where pathogen
survives. 3. Portal of Exit - enable entry into host to cause disease. 4. Mode of Transmission -
airborne, droplet, contact, blood etc.. 5. Portal of Entry - enable entry to body through impaired
immune system. 6. Susceptible Host - immune and health status, age, virulence of agent
HAIs and the three types - Answer hospital aquired infection - Iatrogenic (result from
procedures) - Exogenous (arises from microorganisms external and foreign) - Endogenous (pt.
flora becomes altered and overgrows)
MRO - Answer Multi-Resistant Organism - type of bacteria resistant to multiple antimicrobial
agents (eg. anitbiotics) that can become endemic.
3 types of transmission - Answer airborne, droplet, contact
factors that make people more susceptible to infection - Answer defense mechanisms of body,
age, nutritional status, stress, heredity, disease, therapy
3 colours/types of waste disposal - Answer clinical waste - yellow, cytotoxic waste - purple and
radioactive - red
when do you use hand rub vs wash - Answer wash when visibly soiled/ body fluid contact
risk factors for PI (Pressure Injury) - Answer age, gender, high BMI, low mobility, fatigue,
malnutrition, COPD, skin hygiene
interventions to reduce P.I risks - Answer reposition 2 hourly, physio, support stockins,
monitor, air mattress, cleaning, positioning
, difference between airborne and droplet precautions - Answer droplets travel 1m and larger.
airbonre travels further, stay in air longer
describe the Roper-Logan-Tierny Model - Answer revolves around 12 ADLs - assumes that all
people develop and mature across lifespan, good health means meeting needs

them after
what questions would you ask ssomeone prone to seizures - Answer how long they last, can
they feel it coming on 'aura'
what is some equipment to have at bedside to be prepared for seizures - Answer pillows,
towels, O2, suction
what is immediate action for a seizure - Answer note time, protect head, recovery position,
call for help, stay with them
what are some barriers to cultural sensitivity in nursing - Answer stereotypes, language,
racism, unwillingness to learn
what assessment would be done before givin meds - Answer pain, allergies, BGL, have they
eaten, swallowing, BP
what is onset - Answer time meds take to produce a response
