1. The nurse is using a forced air warmer for a surgical patient preoperatively. Which goals is
the nurse trying to achieve? (Select all that apply.)
a. Induce shivering.
b. Reduce blood loss.
c. Induce pressure ulcers.
d. Reduce cardiac arrests.
e. Reduce surgical site infection.
ANS: B, D, E
Evidence suggests that pre-warming for a minimum of 30 minutes may reduce the
occurrence of hypothermia. Prevention of hypothermia (core temperature < 36° C) helps to
reduce complications such as shivering, cardiac arrest, blood loss, SSI, pressure ulcers, and
mortality.

2. The nurse is caring for a postoperative patient with an incision. Which actions will the
nurse take to decrease wound infections? (Select all that apply.)
a. Maintain normoglycemia.
b. Use a straight razor to remove hair.
c. Provide bath and linen change daily.
d. Perform first dressing change 2 days postoperatively.
e. Perform hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient.
f. Administer antibiotics within 60 minutes before surgical incision.
ANS: A, E
Performing hand hygiene before and after contact with the patient helps to decrease the
number of microorganisms and break the chain of infection. Maintaining blood glucose
levels at less than 150 mg/dL has resulted in decreased wound infection. Removing
unwanted hair by clipping instead of shaving decreases the numbers of nicks and cuts
caused by a razor and the potential for the introduction of microbes. The patient is
postoperative; administration of an antibiotic 60 minutes before the surgical incision
supports the defense against infection preoperatively. Providing a bath and linen change
daily is positive but is not necessarily important for infection control. Many surgeons prefer
to change surgical dressings the first time so they can inspect the incisional area, but this is
done before 2 days postoperatively.
3. A nurse is assigned the following four clients for the current shift. Which of the following clients
should the nurse assess first?
A. A client who has a hip fracture and is in Buck’s traction
B. A client who has aspiration pneumonia and a respiratory rate of 28/min
C. A client who has diabetes mellitus stage 2 pressure ulcer on his foot
D. A client who has a C diff infection and needs a stool specimen collected
1. The nurse is participating in a “time-out.” In which activities will the nurse be involved? (Select
all that apply.)
a. Verify the correct site.
