MY NHA EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What vaccination does OSHA require all health care personnel get?: OSHA
requires that all health care personnel exposed to blood and other bodily fluids must
receive a vaccination against Hepatitis B (Blood pathogen)
2. Five main types or mode of transmission: Mode of Transmission -
1. Contact - direct and indirect (fomite)
2. Droplet - Cold, Flu, and sneezing
3. Airborne - viral - breath in
4. common vehicle - person, fomite and not handwashing
5. Vector-borne - an illness that is transmitted through an invertebrate, such as an
insect
3. Standard precautions do what?: Infection control method designed to prevent
direct contact with blood and other body fluids and tissues by using a barrier of
protection and work control practices.
4. Standard precautions consist of what items?: Gloves - when collecting and
handling body fluids, or tissue specimen
Face shield - when danger of splashing on mucous membranes
Disposal - dispose of all needles and sharp objests in punture-proof containers,
WITH OUT RECAPPING
Disinfectants - clean fluid spills, thus killing pathogenic organisms
5. Standard Precautions refers to: Infection control measures that use barrier
protection
6. Contact Precautions: Used for patients known to have or suspected of having
diseases or conditions transmitted by direct patient contact or by contact with items
in the patient's environment
7. Airborne Precautions: Used for patients known to have or suspected of having
a disease transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei e.g., measles, varicella, and TB
8. Droplet Precautions: Used for pts known to have or suspected of having a
disease transmitted y large infectious droplets that can be deposited on the con-
junctivae or mucous membranes of a susceptible host
9. Medical Asepsis: This condition is best defined as "the destruction of pathogenic
microorganisms after they leave the body". It also involves environmental hygiene
measures such as equipment cleaning and disinfection procedures. Methods of
medical asepsis are Standard Precautions and Transmission-based Precautions
10. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Consists of barriers and respirators
used alone or in combination to protect skin, mucous membrane and clothing...In-
cludes the following equipment

16. Quality control regulations for ClIA waived procedures: Recording the tem-
peratures of all refrigerators that store injectable medications every shift
17. Quality Assurance: Is defined as a program that guarantees quality patient care
tracking the outcomes through scheduled audits in which areas of the hospital look
at the appropriateness, applicability, and timeliness of patient care.

C. Blood-borne Pathogens Standards
D. hazard communication plan: A. material safety data sheet (MSDS)
19. Procedure manuals, instrument maintenance, quality control and profi-
ciency testing are all standards of .: Quality Assurance
20. A laboratory is scheduled for a routine annual inspection with the primary
focus on equipment maintenance logs,what areas will be the focus of the
inspection: Mechanical safety
21. *The methods of reporting results by clinical laboratory abides by the
standards set by the Joint Commission: A faxed report from the clinical laboratory
technician to the physician
