DISEASE PREVENTION (PART 1)
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which Of The Following Behaviors Indicates The Highest Potential For Spreading
Infections Among Clients? The Nurse:
1) Disinfects Dirty Hands With Antibacterial Soap.
2) Allows Alcohol-Based Rub To Dry For 10 Seconds.
3) Washes Hands Only After Leaving Each Room.
4) Uses Cold Water For Medical Asepsis.
ANS: 3
Patients Acquire Infection By Contact With Other Patients, Family Members, And
Healthcare Equipment. But Most Infection Among Patients Is Spread Through The
Hands Of Healthcare Workers. Hand Washing Interrupts The Transmission And Should
Be Done Before And After All Contact With Patients, Regardless Of The Diagnosis.
When The Hands Are Soiled, Healthcare Staff Should Use Antibacterial Soap With
Warm Water To Remove Dirt And Debris From The Skin Surface. When No Visible Dirt
Is Present, An Alcohol-Based Rub Should Be Applied And Allowed To Dry For 10 To
15 Seconds.
2. What Is The Most Frequent Cause Of The Spread Of Infection Among
Institutionalized Patients?
1) Airborne Microbes From Other Patients
2) Contact With Contaminated Equipment
3) Hands Of Healthcare Workers
4) Exposure From Family Members
,ANS: 3
Patients Are Exposed To Microbes By Contact (Direct Contact, Airborne, Or Otherwise)
With Other Patients, Family Members, And Contaminated Healthcare Equipment. Some
Of These Are Pathogenic (Cause Illness) And Some Are Nonpathogenic (Do Not Cause
Illness). But Most Microbes Causing Infection Among Patients Are Spread By Direct
Contact On The Hands Of Healthcare Workers.
3. Which Of The Following Nursing Activities Is Of Highest Priority For Maintaining
Medical Asepsis?
1) Washing Hands
2) Donning Gloves
3) Applying Sterile Drapes
4) Wearing A Gown
ANS: 1
Scrupulous Hand Washing Is The Most Important Part Of Medical Asepsis. Donning
Gloves, Applying Sterile Drapes Before Procedures, And Wearing A Protective Gown
May Be Needed To Ensure Asepsis, But They Are Not The Most Important Aspect
Because Microbes Causing Most Healthcare-Related Infections Are Transmitted By Lack
Of Or Ineffective Hand Washing.
4. A Patient Infected With A Virus But Who Does Not Have Any Outward Sign Of The
Disease Is Considered A:
1) Pathogen.
2) Fomite.
3) Vector.
4) Carrier.
ANS: 4
, Some People Might Harbor A Pathogenic Organism, Such As The Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Within Their Body, And Yet Do Not Acquire The
Disease/Infection. These Individuals, Called Carriers, Have No Outward Sign Of Active
Disease, Yet They Can Pass The Infection To Others. A Pathogen Is An Organism
Capable Of Causing Disease. A Fomite Is A Contaminated Object That Transfers A
Pathogen, Such As Pens, Stethoscopes, And Contaminated Needles. A Vector Is An
Organism That Carries A Pathogen To A Susceptible Host Through A Portal For Entry
Into The Body. An Example Of A Vector Is A Mosquito Or Tick That Bites Or Stings.
5. A Patient Is Admitted To The Hospital With Tuberculosis. Which Precautions Must
The Nurse Institute When Caring For This Patient?
1) Droplet Transmission
2) Airborne Transmission
3) Direct Contact
4) Indirect Contact
ANS: 2
The Organisms Responsible For Measles And Tuberculosis, As Well As Many Fungal
Infections, Are Spread Through Airborne Transmission. Neisseria Meningitidis, The
Organism That Causes Meningitis, Is Spread Through Droplet Transmission. Pathogens
That Cause Diarrhea, Such As Clostridium Difficile, Are Spread By Direct Contact. The
Common Cold Can Be Spread By Indirect Contact Or Droplet Transmission.
6. A Patient Becomes Infected With Oral Candidiasis (Thrush) While Receiving
Intravenous Antibiotics To Treat A Systemic Infection. Which Type Of Infection Has
The Patient Developed?
1) Endogenous Nosocomial
2) Exogenous Nosocomial
3) Latent
4) Primary
