NCLEX_CRUSADE_ACADEMY TEST - 11 TRANSMISSION_BASED_PRECAUTIONS

1. Standard precautions are best described as: Infection control practices used only for confirmed infections. Baseline infection control practices applied to every patient. Precautions used only in the ICU. Procedures used only during surgery.

2. Transmission based precautions are used for patients who: Are completely healthy. Have chronic diseases only. Have known or suspected highly transmissible pathogens. Are recovering from surgery.

3. Standard precautions should be: Used only when infection is suspected. Turned off once diagnosis is confirmed. Applied to every patient at all times. Used only during outbreaks.

4. Airborne precautions are required for diseases transmitted through: Direct skin contact. Large respiratory droplets. Small particles that remain suspended in air. Contaminated food.

5. The NCLEX mnemonic MTV for airborne precautions refers to: Mumps, Tetanus, Varicella. Measles, Tuberculosis, Varicella. Malaria, Typhoid, Varicella. Measles, Tetanus, Viral pneumonia.

6. Patients requiring airborne precautions should be placed in: A room with positive pressure. A negative pressure isolation room. A shared open ward. A room with standard ventilation only.

7. Healthcare staff entering an airborne isolation room must wear: Surgical mask. Face shield only. N95 respirator. Gloves only.

8. When transporting a patient under airborne precautions, the patient should: Wear an N95 respirator. Wear a surgical mask. Wear gloves. Have no protection.

9. Varicella (chickenpox) transmission is classified as: Droplet only. Contact only. Airborne + contact. Bloodborne.

10. Herpes zoster (shingles) lesions typically appear: Bilaterally across the body. Randomly over the face. Unilaterally following a nerve path. Only on the feet.

11. Varicella infection remains contagious until: Fever resolves. All lesions are crusted. The rash appears. Pain stops.

12. Droplet transmission generally occurs within: 10 feet. 6 feet. 3 feet. 1 foot.

13. Staff caring for patients on droplet precautions should wear: N95 respirator. Surgical mask. Gloves only. Goggles only.

14. For droplet precautions, the patient's room: Must have negative pressure. Must have positive pressure. May remain open. Must remain sealed.

15. Contact precautions are required for infections spread by: Airborne particles. Respiratory droplets. Direct skin contact or contaminated objects. Blood transfusion.

16. Which condition requires contact precautions?. Tuberculosis. Impetigo. Measles. Influenza.

17. MRSA infections require: Droplet precautions. Airborne precautions. Contact precautions. No isolation.

18. Patients with C. difficile infection should be placed on: Droplet precautions. Airborne precautions. Contact precautions. Protective isolation.

19. Staff PPE for contact precautions includes: Mask only. N95 respirator. Gown and gloves. Face shield only.

20. The defense matrix compares precautions by: Infection severity only. Distance, room type, PPE, and patient transport. Patient age. Duration of illness.

21. Airborne transmission distance is typically: <1 foot. <3 feet. >3 feet. Exactly 10 feet.

22. Hand hygiene is considered: Optional with PPE. Universal requirement. Required only after procedures. Needed only with infections.

23. Vaccination schedules begin at: 6 months. Birth. 1 year. 2 years.

24. Which vaccine is given at birth?. Hepatitis B. Polio. DTaP. Rotavirus.

25. The vaccines given at 2, 4, and 6 months include: DTaP, Rotavirus, Hib, IPV, PCV. MMR and Varicella. Influenza and COVID. Hepatitis A only.

26. The booster vaccines given at 12I15 months include: MMR and Varicella. Hepatitis C. Polio. Influenza.

27. For itching in children with chickenpox, the nurse should recommend: Hydrogen peroxide. Baby powder. Oatmeal baths. Alcohol scrubs.

28. Chickenpox lesions progress through stages including: Macule, papule, vesicle, crust. Pustule only. Ulcer only. Scar formation only.

29. During chickenpox infection, lesion stages may appear: One stage at a time. Only vesicles. Simultaneously in different stages. Only crusted lesions.

30. A patient with weight loss, night sweats, and productive cough should be suspected of: Influenza. Pneumonia. Tuberculosis. Asthma.

31. The nurse's first priority when TB is suspected is to: Administer antibiotics. Obtain sputum sample. Initiate airborne precautions. Provide oxygen.

32. Isolation precautions are primarily designed to: Protect hospital equipment. Protect staff and other patients. Delay diagnosis. Reduce paperwork.

33. Passive immunity refers to: Immunity from vaccines. Immunity from maternal antibodies. Immunity from antibiotics. Immunity from exercise.

34. Maternal antibodies are transferred through: Skin contact. Placenta and breast milk. Blood transfusion. Vaccination.

35. The final principle of infection control is: Remove all precautions quickly. Continue isolation until risk disappears. Stop precautions when symptoms begin. Stop PPE once antibiotics start.
