    If you wear gloves when performing your job duties, you do not need to follow handwashing precautions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Wearing gloves during job duties does not eliminate the need for handwashing precautions. Gloves can become contaminated during use, and if proper hand hygiene is not followed before and after glove use, it can lead to the spread of pathogens. Handwashing is essential to remove any potential contamination on the hands and maintain hygiene standards, regardless of glove use. Therefore, the statement is false.

    You Can always substitute barrier creams for gloves.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Barrier creams cannot be substituted for gloves. Barrier creams provide a layer of protection on the skin, but they do not offer the same level of protection as gloves. Gloves create a physical barrier between the skin and any harmful substances, whereas barrier creams only provide a temporary barrier that can easily be washed off. Therefore, gloves should always be used when handling potentially hazardous materials to ensure maximum protection.

    Hepatitis B is caused by a virus and can be prevented by getting the hepatitis B vaccine.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Hepatitis B is indeed caused by a virus called the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This virus is transmitted through contact with infected blood or other body fluids. The best way to prevent hepatitis B is by getting vaccinated. The hepatitis B vaccine is highly effective in preventing infection and is recommended for all infants, children, and adults who are at risk of contracting the virus. By receiving the vaccine, individuals can develop immunity against HBV and significantly reduce their chances of getting infected. Therefore, the statement "Hepatitis B is caused by a virus and can be prevented by getting the hepatitis B vaccine" is true.

    Universal Precautions are not recommended by the Center for Disease Control.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Universal Precautions are recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Universal Precautions refer to a set of guidelines designed to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens in healthcare settings. These guidelines include practices such as wearing gloves, using protective barriers, and practicing proper hand hygiene. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) strongly advocates for the use of Universal Precautions to protect both healthcare workers and patients from the risk of infection. Therefore, the statement that Universal Precautions are not recommended by the CDC is false.

    The best time to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) is when you might come into contact with blood or potentially infectious bodily fluids.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial when there is a risk of coming into contact with blood or potentially infectious bodily fluids. PPE includes items such as gloves, masks, gowns, and goggles, which act as a barrier to protect against the transmission of diseases. By wearing PPE in such situations, individuals can minimize the risk of infection and maintain their safety. Therefore, the statement "The best time to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) is when you might come into contact with blood or potentially infectious bodily fluids" is true.

    Gloves are not necessary when working in the home.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Gloves are necessary when working in the home, especially when handling chemicals, cleaning products, or potentially harmful substances. Wearing gloves can protect the hands from cuts, burns, and exposure to harmful substances. It is important to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions while working in the home. Therefore, the statement "Gloves are not necessary when working in the home" is incorrect, making the correct answer False.

    Alcohol-based hand rinse SHOULD NOT be used:

    • Prior to patient contact

    • If fingernails are chipped

    • If the patient has a respiratory infection

    • If hands are visbly dirty

    Correct Answer
    A. If hands are visbly dirty
    Explanation
    Alcohol-based hand rinse should not be used if hands are visibly dirty because alcohol-based hand rinses are not as effective in removing dirt, debris, and other visible contaminants from the hands. In this case, it is recommended to wash the hands with soap and water to properly clean and remove the visible dirt before using an alcohol-based hand rinse for disinfection purposes.

    Tuberculosis can be spread.

    • Through the air.

    • By touching infected Material.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Through the air.
    Explanation
    Tuberculosis can be spread through the air because it is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can be released into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These bacteria can then be inhaled by others and cause infection. Touching infected material may also pose a risk but is not the primary mode of transmission for tuberculosis. Therefore, the correct answer is through the air.

    Masks and goggles must be worn when caring for patients who have a cough or are vomiting.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Masks and goggles must be worn when caring for patients who have a cough or are vomiting. This statement is false. Masks and goggles are typically worn when caring for patients who have respiratory droplet precautions, such as patients with tuberculosis or influenza. Coughing and vomiting do not necessarily require the use of masks and goggles, as these actions do not generate respiratory droplets that can spread infections. However, other protective measures like gloves and aprons may still be necessary to prevent contact with bodily fluids.
