An RN instructs an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to perform appropriate
hand hygiene using soap and water only when caring for a patient with which
infection?
Staphylococcus aureus
Clostridium difficile
Neisseria meningitidis
Haemophilus influenza - ANSWER-1) If hands are not visibly soiled, health care
providers are strongly encouraged to use alcohol-based, waterless antiseptic
agents for routine hand decontamination. These solutions are superior to soap or
antimicrobial hand washing agents in their speed of action and effectiveness
against most microorganisms.
*2) The spore form of the bacterium Clostridium difficile is resistant to alcohol and
other hand disinfectants; therefore, the use of gloves and hand washing (soap and
water for physical removal) are required when C. difficile has been identified.

Infectious Disease
An RN is assessing the most recent laboratory test results for a patient diagnosed
with shock. Which laboratory test result would lead the RN to determine that the
patient is in the progressive stage of shock?
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis - ANSWER-*1) Metabolic acidosis occurs as a result of
accumulated lactic acid.
2) Metabolic alkalosis cannot occur with the build-up of lactic acid.
3) Respiratory acidosis occurs in late shock.
4) Respiratory alkalosis occurs in early shock.
Infectious Disease
During assessment, an RN notes changes in a patient with an infection. Which
assessment data would alert the RN to the fact that the patient is developing
systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)?

Fatigue and loss of appetite
Generalized discomfort
Redness at the intravenous (IV) site
Tachycardia and tachypnea - ANSWER-1) This symptom needs further
assessment.
2) This symptom is too broad and needs further assessment.
3) This is a symptom of a localized inflammation at the IV site.
*4) SIRS criteria include a patient with an infection and T > 38°C (100.4°F); P > 90
bmp; R > 20 bpm.
Infectious Disease
An RN is providing caregiver instruction to prevent infection via droplet
transmission. For which infection would this teaching be necessary?
Impetigo
Giardiasis
Pertussis
Tetanus - ANSWER-1) Transmission of impetigo is via contact, so contact
precautions are required to prevent spread.

2) Transmission of giardia is via ingestion of cysts of the protozoa from dirty
hands; it is not transmitted by droplets.
*3) Droplet precautions are used for 5 days after the child is started on antibiotic
therapy to prevent spread.
4) Transmission of tetanus occurs via direct or indirect contamination of a closed
wound, not by droplets.
Infectious Disease
An RN reviews the laboratory data for a patient suspected of having tuberculosis
(TB). Which diagnostic test would be used to confirm a TB diagnosis?
Chest X ray
Lung volume measures
Sputum culture
Positive purified protein derivative test (PPD) - ANSWER-1) Chest X ray does not
confirm the diagnosis of TB.
2) Lung volume measures are used for COPD diagnosis.
*3) Sputum culture for AFB is diagnostic for TB.
