,e following behaviors indicates the highest potential for spreading infections among clients? The
nurse:
1) disinfects dirty hands with antibacterial soap.
2) allows alcohol-based rub to dry for 10 seconds.
3) washes hands only after leaving each room.
4) uses cold water for medical asepsis.
2. What is the most frequent cause of the spread of infection among institutionalized
patients?
1) Airborne microbes from other patients
2) Contact with contaminated equipment
3) Hands of healthcare workers
4) Exposure from family members
3. Which of the following nursing activities is of highest priority for maintaining medical
asepsis?
1) Washing hands
2) Donning gloves
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

developed?
1) Endogenous nosocomial
2) Exogenous nosocomial
, 3) Latent
4) Primary
7.The nurse assists a surgeon with central venous catheter insertion. Which action

1) Closing the patients door to limit room traffic while preparing the sterile field

1) Incubation
2) Prodromal
3) Decline
4) Convalescence
5) 8.
9. A patient develops localized heat and erythema over an area on the lower leg.
These findings are indicative of which secondary defense against infection?
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
