    Acinetobacter Baumannii can survive inside mechanical ventilators.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Acinetobacter Baumannii is a type of bacteria known for its ability to survive in various environments, including medical equipment. Mechanical ventilators provide an ideal environment for the bacteria to thrive due to the presence of moisture and warm temperatures. This can lead to the colonization of the ventilator, increasing the risk of infection for patients who rely on these devices. Therefore, the statement that Acinetobacter Baumannii can survive inside mechanical ventilators is true.

    Standard precautions are used when in contact with blood, body fluid, and non-intact skin of which patients?

    • HIV patients

    • All patients

    • Patients with C Diff

    • Patients infected with MRSA

    Correct Answer
    A. All patients
    Explanation
    Standard precautions are a set of infection control practices that are used to prevent the transmission of diseases in healthcare settings. These precautions are designed to be applied to all patients, regardless of their specific diagnosis or infectious status. By following standard precautions, healthcare workers can protect themselves and others from exposure to blood, body fluids, and non-intact skin, reducing the risk of infection transmission. Therefore, it is important to apply standard precautions when in contact with all patients, not just those with specific conditions like HIV, C Diff, or MRSA.

    Heathcare workers exhibiting signs and symptoms of the flu shouldnot take care of patients.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Healthcare workers exhibiting signs and symptoms of the flu should not take care of patients because they can transmit the virus to vulnerable individuals, such as those with weakened immune systems. This can lead to the spread of the flu within healthcare settings, potentially causing severe illness or even death in patients. It is important for healthcare workers to prioritize patient safety and prevent the risk of infection by staying away from patient care duties when they are sick.

  • 7. 

    For how long should one wash their hands when using soap & water or an alcohol-based hand rub?

    • Under 10 seconds

    • At least 20 seconds

    • A full 60 seconds

    • It doesn't matter as long as your hands appear clean

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 20 seconds
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "At least 20 seconds." This is because washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub is recommended by health experts to effectively remove germs and prevent the spread of infections. Washing hands for less than 20 seconds may not be sufficient to thoroughly clean the hands and eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses.

    BI/NAPI C Difficile constantly produces _____ and forms spores making it harder to kill.

    • Gas

    • Toxins

    • Fungus

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Toxins
    Explanation
    The correct answer is toxins. BI/NAPI C Difficile constantly produces toxins and forms spores, which makes it harder to kill. These toxins are harmful substances that can cause damage to the body and contribute to the severity of the infection.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is the minimum % alcohol that a Alcohol-based hand rub (like Purell) should  contain ?

    • 30%

    • 75%

    • 60%

    • 100%

    Correct Answer
    A. 60%
    Explanation
    Alcohol-based hand rubs, like Purell, are effective in killing germs and preventing the spread of infections. The minimum percentage of alcohol that these hand rubs should contain is 60%. This concentration is necessary to ensure that the hand rub is effective in killing a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses. A lower percentage may not be as effective in killing germs, while a higher percentage may evaporate too quickly and not provide sufficient contact time to kill the germs. Therefore, a minimum of 60% alcohol content is recommended for alcohol-based hand rubs.

    • PVL-Positve MRSA

    • Acintobacter Baumannii

    • C-Difficile

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. PVL-Positve MRSA
    Explanation
    PVL-Positive MRSA is a "bad bug" that is a good reason for everyone to receive the influenza vaccine. PVL-Positive MRSA refers to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains that produce Panton-Valentine leukocidin, a toxin that can cause severe infections. Influenza weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections like PVL-Positive MRSA. By receiving the influenza vaccine, individuals can reduce their chances of getting the flu and consequently lower their risk of developing severe infections caused by PVL-Positive MRSA.
