What are 4 examples of multi-drug resistant organisms?
aka antibiotic resistant - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1)
methicillin-resistant staphylococcus Aerus (MRSA)
2) Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)
3) Extended spectrum B-lactamase producing (ESBL)
4) Clostridium Difficile (C. Diff)
What are the 3 levels of Infection Prevention in health
care setting? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Tier 1: Standard
Precautions: protect all patients regardless of diagnoses
Tier 2: Transmission Based Precaution: Precautions
healthcare staff must take in order to protect from being
infected by patient with a known infection
Tier 3: Patient Protective Precaution: Immune
compromised patients that need to be safeguarded
from environment
Give 6 examples of the types of patients considered
immune-comprised patients - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1)
Newborn babies (especially premature babies)
,3|Page
Remember they do not have the necessary antibodies
and have weak cell-mediated immunity
2) elderly: have a slower immune system, that does not
respond very quickly to infectious agents upon their
entry
3) Surgical patients: tissue exposure during surgery that
serves as a portal entry for infectious agents
4) immune compromised (HIV/AIDS, chemotherapy
patients, organ transplant)
5) seriously ill patients (chemotherapy, HIV/AID, organ
transplant)
6) physically and nutritionally depleted patients who
are not getting essential nutrients and minerals and
energy to develop a strong immune system

individual via sneezing or coughing to susceptible
mucosal surfaces of recipient (less than 3 feet away)
