Question 1

You are caring for a patient with C. difficile. The correct hand washing protocol is:

Wash with soap and water.

Use soap and water in the patient’s room and alcohol foam cleanser in the hallway outside the room.

It doesn’t matter because nothing can kill C. difficile.

Always wear gloves, and then use either soap and water or alcohol foam cleanser when you remove them.

Question 11

The reason that we don’t get sick from the normal flora (normal bacteria) on our skin is:

Normal flora are harmless.

We have immunity to those bacteria.

Our skin is a barrier that keeps the bacteria from invading and causing an infection.

Antibiotics that we take for other kinds of infections keep those bacteria under control.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Correct.

Question 12

The alcohol foam rubs don’t excessively dry the skin because:

Alcohol evaporates so quickly that it doesn’t have time to dry the skin.

Skin care products have been added to the waterless alcohol cleansers.

You can let the alcohol-based foam air dry on your hand to lessen irritation.

We don’t use them unless soap and water are absolutely not available.

Question 14

To decrease the risk of spreading pathogens or infections from patient to patient we should:

Question 15

What does it mean when we read that a patient has resistant bacteria?

The patient either has an infection with, or is colonized (“carries”) bacteria which over time have become resistant to antibiotics and which can spread easily.

The patient’s bacteria are very resistant to spreading.

Nothing, all bacteria are resistant because of their protective cell wall.

That we need to send the patient home on IV antibiotics.

Question 19

To reduce the spread of SARS.

To stop the spread of infection from one person to another by hand contact.

To insure that all hospitals do the same thing across the country.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Correct.

Question 20

Patients with C. difficile require special precautions related to the potential spread of infection from patient to patient because:

Difficile is Latin for “difficult” meaning that this bacteria makes the patient difficult to control.

They require strict isolation with masks, gowns and gloves because they have an increased risk of getting an infection from another patient

C. difficile grows on antibacterial soap, making handwashing useless in preventing it’s spread.

C. difficile is a spore-producing bacteria. It can live in the environment for a long time. It is thought that the friction of soap and water washing plus drying with a paper towel are better at removing C. difficile from the HCW’s hands.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Correct.

Question 21

Artificial nails increase the risk of transmitting a disease from patient to patient because:

The longer length of artificial nails makes it more likely that a patient will be accidentally scratched by a HCW, breaking the skin barrier and putting them at more risk for infection.

Studies have shown that more bacteria and yeast live on artificial nails than on natural nails, in spite of good handwashing.

The chemicals used to create artificial nails are a good media for bacterial growth.

The thickness of artificial nails is more likely to cause a tear in a latex glove.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Incorrect.

Answer

Correct.

Question 22

Chipped nail polish increases the risk of transmitting a disease from patient to patient because:

The germs that have been living under the nail polish are released into the air.

Individuals with chipped nail polish tend to pick at it, or pull at it with their teeth, creating more opportunities for contamination.

Chipped nail polish may chip off more while giving patient care, falling into the patient’s bedding and carrying germs.

Chipped nail polish may provide spaces for the pathogen to get between the nail and the polish.
