What is the gold standard to prevent the spread of germs/ prevent infection

handwashing with soap and water 

100

Is the following statement true or false?

It is not necessary to perform hand hygiene prior to performing a procedure using clean technique.

False

Rationale: The WHO recommends hand hygiene before touching a patient, before a clean or aseptic procedure, after body fluid exposure risk, after touching a patient, and after touching patient surroundings.

100

Provide at least 3 examples of PPE

Clean (nonsterile) and sterile gloves

Impervious gowns/aprons

Surgical and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) masks,

N95 disposable masks

Face shields

Protective eyewear/goggles

100

What is the appropriate name of a Blood pressure cuff

sphygmomanometer

100

This is the normal heart rate for adults. 

60-100bpm

100

Normal respiratory rate?

12-20 breaths per minute and regular. 

200

How long should you scrub hands when washing?

At least 20 seconds

200

When is it appropriate to use alcohol-based hand rubs?

Recommended if hands are not visibly soiled

200

Place patient in private room, if available

Wear gown and gloves when entering the room for all interventions involving contact with the patient; change infected gloves and remove PPE before leaving the room

Wash hands with antimicrobial or waterless antiseptic agent

Limit movement of the patient out of the room

Avoid sharing patient care equipment

...What precaution am I?

Contact Precaution

200

138/87 is considered what?

Stage 1 HTN

200

What is the normal adult blood pressure?

<120/80 mmHg

200

< 10 breaths per minute is called?

Bradypnea

300

What is the most effective way to break the chain of infection?

Handwashing

300

Describe 3 conditions requiring Hand Hygiene with soap and water

When hands are visibly dirty

When hands are visibly soiled with or in contact with blood or other body fluids

Before eating and after using the restroom

If exposure to certain organisms, such as those causing anthrax or Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile), is known or suspected

300

Use a private room (door may remain open)

Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient and potentially contaminated areas in the patient’s environment

Transport the patient out of the room only if necessary; place surgical mask on patient

Keep visitors 3 ft from patient 

...What precaution am I?

Droplet Precaution

300

3 methods to assess the pulse

Palpating the peripheral arteries

Auscultating the apical pulse with a stethoscope

Using a portable Doppler ultrasound

300

This is the normal adult temp.

96.4-99.5 F 

or 35.9°C (96.7°F) to 38°C (100.5°F)

300

> than 24 breaths per minute is called?

Tachypnea

400

This involves procedures and practices that reduce the number and transfer of pathogens

For example, performing hand hygiene and wearing gloves

Medical asepsis or clean technique

400

Name at least 3 criteria for performing hand hygiene

Before and after contact with each patient

Before putting on gloves

Before performing invasive procedures

After accidental contact with body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, and wound dressings, even if hands are not visibly soiled

When moving from a contaminated body site to a clean one during patient care

After contact with inanimate objects near the patient

After removal of gloves

400

Place patient in private room with monitored negative air pressure and door closed; keep patient in room

Use respiratory protection (mask or respirator) when entering the patient’s room

Transport patient out of room only when necessary; place surgical mask on patient

Consult CDC guidelines for prevention strategies for Spread/containment.

400

List 4 factors that can affect blood pressure reading

Age

Physical activity

Position

Weight

Fluid balance

Smoking

Medications

Presence of disease or health conditions

Pain

400

2 methods to obtain core temp

Tympanic and rectal

or 

Esophagus and pulmonary

400

Describe the method to assess Respiratory Rate, Depth, and Rhythm

Inspection (observing and listening)

Listening with the stethoscope

Counting the number of breaths per minute

Patients should be unaware of the respiratory assessment to prevent altered breathing patterns

500

This includes practices used to render and keep objects and areas free from microorganisms

For example, inserting an indwelling urinary catheter or inserting an intravenous catheter

Surgical asepsis or sterile technique

500

What are the Five Moments for Hand Hygiene?
