CSFA SFA 208week 2 test QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 2025/2026.
Patients with infections prior to surgery need to start effective antimicrobial therapy
which should be discontinued after the procedure - False
Life-threatening conditions require careful monitoring to ensure that the patient
responds to the antimicrobial therapy - True
If it is too late to prevent exposure it may be possible to start preemptive treatment in
time to avoid the consequences of infection - True
There are various potential targets for antimicrobial action, the most common of which
are cell wall, cell membrane, protein synthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis - True
The amount of antibiotic present in a serum specimen can be measured from the size of
the inhibition zone produced after incubation with an organism of known sensitivity. This
type of test is referred to as bioassay - True
Separation of sewage and drinking water is probably the single most effective means of
preventing enteric infection - True
The prevention of infection by prescribing antimicrobial agents would include antibiotic
prophylaxis - True
In surgical practice, many regimens utilize only a single dose of chemprophylaxis given
with the premedication or at the time of induction of anesthesia - True
In gram-positive bacteria, the genes coding for antimicrobial resistance are transferred
by a bacteriophage vector in a process called transduction - True
Vaccinations in most developed countries include those against polio, tetanus, rubella,
and may add hepatitis B in the future - True
For practical purposes, the process to prevent communicable diseases includes
establishment of clinical disease - True
The safe disposal of contaminated waste from patients is not an important part of
isolation practice - False
Antimicrobial agents that act on metabolic pathways are prone to resistance developing
as a result of mutations favoring alternative pathways - True
