NSG 300 UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔standard precautions - ✔✔recommendations that must be followed to prevent
transmission of pathogenic organisms by way of blood, blood products, body fluids,
secretions, excretions(except sweat), non intact skin, and mucous membranes
✔✔standard precautions (for use with all patients) - ✔✔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? -
✔✔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 - ✔✔stronger side
✔✔direct route - ✔✔person-to-person (fecal,oral) physical contact between source and
susceptible host
✔✔indirect route - ✔✔personal contact of susceptible host with contaminates inanimate
object
✔✔droplet route - ✔✔infected person coughs/sneezes, creating droplets that carry
germs (w/in 6 feet)
✔✔airborne route - ✔✔organisms are carried droplet nuclei to residue or evaporated
droplets suspended in air
✔✔vehicle route - ✔✔contaminated items, water, drugs, solutions, blood, food
✔✔vector route - ✔✔external mechanical transfer (flies)
internal transmission (mosquito, flea, tick)
✔✔Barrier precautions - ✔✔•include the appropriate use of PPE such as gowns, gloves,
masks, eyewear, and other protective devices or clothing.
, ✔✔Contact precautions PPE - ✔✔gown and gloves
✔✔Droplet precautions PPE - ✔✔a surgical mask when within 3 feet of the patient,
proper hand hygiene, and some dedicated-care equipment.
✔✔Airborne precautions PPE - ✔✔negative air flow room (airborne infection isolation
room)
N95 respirator
✔✔Protective environment PPE - ✔✔a specialized room with positive airflow.
✔✔what is the appropriate technique to maintain safe client handling? - ✔✔widen base
of support
increase balance by bringing center of gravity closer to base of support
✔✔safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) - ✔✔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? - ✔✔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 - ✔✔endocrine (homeostasis is usual
function, can decrease wound healing)
calcium absorption (hypercalcemia)
GI function (constipation)
✔✔Respiratory System: Effects of Immobility - ✔✔atelectasis (collapse of alveoli)
hypostatic pneumonia ( inflammation of lung from stasis or pooling secretions
✔✔Cardiovascular System: Effects of Immobility - ✔✔orthostatic hypotension
thrombus
✔✔Musculoskeletal System: Effects of Immobility - ✔✔loss of endurance and muscle
mass
decrease stability and balance
✔✔Muscular System: Effects of Immobility - ✔✔loss of muscle mass
muscle atrophy
✔✔Skeletal System: Effects of Immobility - ✔✔impaires calcium absorption
joint abnormalities
