NUR 155 Exam 1: Infection Control (Ch.
31)
-itis - ✅✅-The suffix that describes an inflammatory process.
A (Goggles)
(Rationale: Unless overly contaminated by material that has splashed in the
nurse's face and cannot be effectively rinsed off, goggles may be worn
repeatedly)
(B. Since gowns are at high risk for contamination, they should be used only
once and then discarded or washed.
✅✅
C. Surgical masks and Option D. gloves are never washed or reused.) -
-When caring for a single client during one shift, it is appropriate for the
nurse to reuse only which of the following personal protective equipment?
A. Goggles
B. Gown
C. Surgical mask
D. Clean gloves
A (Through hand hygiene)
(Rationale: Since the hands are frequently in contact with clients and equipment,
they are the most obvious source of transmission. Regular and routine hand
hygiene is the most effective way to prevent movement of potentially infective
materials.)
(B. PPE (gloves and masks) is indicated for situations requiring standard
precautions.
C. ISOLATION PRECAUTIONS are used for clients with known communicable
diseases.
D. Routine use of antibiotics is not effective and can be harmful due to the
✅✅

-Which is the most effective nursing action for controlling the spread of
infection?
, A. Through hand hygiene
B. Wearing gloves and masks when providing direct client care
C. Implementing appropriate isolation precautions
D. Administering broad-spectrum prophylactic antibiotics
A (Vascular and cellular response)
(Rationale: Hyperemia indicates a marked increase in blood supply, and is the
first stage of the inflammatory response. The vascular and cellular response is
the first stage.)
B. EXUDATE PRODUCTION is the second stage.
✅✅
C. REPARITIVE PHASE is the third stage.
D. MARGINATION is part of the first stage.) - -The nurse notes hyperemia
when evaluating the incision of a client. The nurse knows that this indicates what
stage in the inflammatory response?
A. Vascular and cellular response
B. Exudate production
C. Reparative phase
D. Margination
A, B, C (Escherichia coli, Entercocci, Staphylcoccus aureus) - ✅✅-What are
the most common infecting microorganisms in nosocomial infections? (Select all
that apply.)
A. Escherichia coli
B. Enterococci
C. Staphylcoccus aureus
D. Serratia
Acute infections - ✅✅-An infections that generally appear suddenly or last a
