Safety and infection control Due Apr 10, 2023 by 11:59 pm Passed 673 out of 836 questions answered correctly Completed on Feb 28, 2023 10:42 pm Incorrect (163) Correct (673) Which required noni nvasive assessment and management skills certification would the nurse need to perform airway maintenance and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? The nurse explains to the parents of a 6-year-old child with a pinworm infestation how pinworms are transmitted. Which statement indicates that the teaching has been understood? Rationale BLS is the certification for emergency nursing that includes assessment and management skills for airway maintenance and CPR. CEN is emergency nursing certification that validates the core emergency nursing knowledge base. ACLS involves invasive airway management skills, pharmacology, electrical therapies, and special resuscitation. PALS involves neonatal and pediatric resuscitation. Test-Taking Tip: Identify option components as correct or incorrect. This may help you identify a wrong answer. Basic Life Support (BLS) Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) "We need to keep the cat off the bed." "She needs to wash her hands before eating anything." "She needs to cover her mouth whenever she coughs." "We need to tell the school so that the cafeteria can be cleaned." Which information would the nurse share with an adolescent girl with a seizure disorder refusing to wear a medical alert bracelet that may help her wear the bracelet consistently? Rationale Pinworm infestation is transferred by way of the oral-anal route, and effective hand washing is the best way to prevent transmission. Cats do not transmit pinworms. The hands should be kept away from the nose and mouth; the child should be taught to cough into a tissue or the inside elbow of the arm. Pinworms are not transmitted by coughing. Cleaning the cafeteria is not an effective means of preventing the transmission of pinworms. Rationale Because adolescents have a developmental need to conform to their peers, the teenager should be able to select a bracelet of a design similar to that of those worn by her peers. Hiding the bracelet under long-sleeved clothes might be acceptable in cool weather, but not when it is warm and friends are wearing T-shirts. The bracelet should be worn at all times when the girl is not with responsible family members. Asking friends to wear a similar bracelet may be difficult, especially if the girl does not wish to tell her friends why she needs the bracelet. Hide the bracelet under long-sleeved clothes. Wear the bracelet when engaging in contact sports. Ask her friends to wear bracelets that look like hers. Select a bracelet similar to bracelets worn by her peers. Which team member acts as a liaison between the health care facility and the media? Which hospital department plays a primary role in disaster preparedness? Rationale The public information officer acts as a liaison between the health care facility and the media. The triage officer applies disaster triage tags after evaluating the client’s condition. The medical command physician decides the number, acuity, and resource needs of clients. The hospital incident commander assumes overall leadership for implementing the emergency plan. Test-Taking Tip: Do not panic while taking an exam! Panic will only increase your anxiety. Stop for a moment, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and resume review of the question. Triage officer Public information officer Medical command physician Hospital incident commander Medical department Surgical department Emergency department Mental health department Which nursing objective would the nurse add to the plan of care for a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who engages in self-destructive behavior? Rationale The emergency department plays a primary role in emergency disaster preparedness. Although all departments in the hospital contribute to disaster planning, the only department that plays a primary role is the emergency department. Rationale The nursing objective is to keep the child from inflicting any self-injury. All nursing care would be directed toward preventing injury, particularly with a self-destructive child. Although improved communication skills are important, this is usually not an issue with ADHD. Although formulation of realistic ego boundaries is important, it is not the priority. Opportunities to discharge energy are important, but prevention of injury is the priority. Test-Taking Tip: Read carefully and answer the question asked; pay attention to specific details in the question. Keeping the child from inflicting any self-injury Assisting the child to improve communication skills Helping the child formulate realistic ego boundaries Providing the child with opportunities to discharge energy Which action transmits the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. Which evaluation method is the most effective way for the nurse to evaluate the teachers’ knowledge of hand-washing techniques after a program for teachers about infection-control and hand-washing techniques? Rationale Fluids such as blood and semen are highly concentrated with HIV. HIV may be transmitted parenterally by sharing needles and postnatally through breast milk. HIV may also be transmitted through anal intercourse. HIV is not transmitted by mosquito bites, dry kissing, or sharing of drinking glasses. Deep kissing involving a large amount of salvia does transmit HIV. Multiple mosquito bites Sharing syringe needles Breast-feeding a newborn Dry kissing an infected individual Anal intercourse Sharing drinking glasses Observe the teachers lecture the children about hand hygiene. Administer an objectively written final examination to the teachers. Have the teachers share their knowledge of hand washing. Watch the teachers demonstrate infection-control techniques.
