AND SOLUTIONS EXAMPREP GRADED A+
▶ standard precautions (for use with all patients). Answer: hand hygiene
between each patient
wash hands if soiled
no artificial finger nails
wear gloves when touching body fluids
use appropriate PPE if needed
use of private room (only if needed)
discard all contaminated sharp objects
respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette
▶ what are some methods for providing basic care and comfort to clients?.
Answer: encouraging health promotion (exercise, healthy diet, relaxation)
basic needs (O2, nutrition, temperature)
maintain proper body mechanics (posture and alignment
assistive devices for walking (cane)
▶ what side of the body should the cane be on. Answer: stronger side
▶ direct route. Answer: person-to-person (fecal,oral) physical contact
between source and susceptible host
▶ indirect route. Answer: personal contact of susceptible host with
contaminates inanimate object
▶ droplet route. Answer: infected person coughs/sneezes, creating
droplets that carry germs (w/in 6 feet)
▶ airborne route. Answer: organisms are carried droplet nuclei to residue
or evaporated droplets suspended in air
▶ vehicle route. Answer: contaminated items, water, drugs, solutions,
blood, food
, ▶ vector route. Answer: external mechanical transfer (flies)
internal transmission (mosquito, flea, tick)
▶ Barrier precautions. Answer: •include the appropriate use of PPE such
as gowns, gloves, masks, eyewear, and other protective devices or
clothing.
▶ Contact precautions PPE. Answer: gown and gloves
▶ Droplet precautions PPE. Answer: a surgical mask when within 3 feet of
the patient, proper hand hygiene, and some dedicated-care equipment.
▶ Airborne precautions PPE. Answer: negative air flow room (airborne
infection isolation room)
N95 respirator
▶ Protective environment PPE. Answer: a specialized room with positive
airflow.
▶ what is the appropriate technique to maintain safe client handling?.
Answer: widen base of support
increase balance by bringing center of gravity closer to base of support
▶ safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM). Answer: improved
assessment, use of mechanical equipment and safety procedures to lift and
move patients
▶ what is the importance of proper positioning and movement for
promoting clients comfort?. Answer: proper positioning and placing them in
correct body alignment can help reduce pressure risks
movement is important because immobility can cause many systemic
effects
▶ Metabolic System: Effects of Immobility. Answer: endocrine
(homeostasis is usual function, can decrease wound healing)
calcium absorption (hypercalcemia)
GI function (constipation)
▶ Respiratory System: Effects of Immobility. Answer: atelectasis (collapse
of alveoli)
