NCLEX CRUSADE ACADEMY TEST - 8 TRASMISSION BASED PRECAUTION

1. Transmission based precautions are implemented: Instead of standard precautions. Only during surgery. In addition to standard precautions. Only in intensive care units.

2. Which type of transmission involves pathogens that remain suspended in air currents?. Droplet transmission. Contact transmission. Airborne transmission. Vector transmission.

3. Which type of transmission involves heavier particles that typically travel short distances?. Airborne. Droplet. Contact. Bloodborne.

4. Contact precautions primarily prevent transmission through: Air currents. Direct physical contact. Aerosolized droplets. Water contamination.

5. According to the 3Ifoot rule, droplet pathogens typically travel: More than 10 feet. Exactly 10 feet. About 3 feet or less. More than 20 feet.

6. Distance greater than 3 feet offers protection from: Airborne transmission. Droplet transmission. Contact transmission. Bloodborne transmission.

7. Which type of precaution requires a private room as mandatory placement?. Contact. Droplet. Airborne. Protective.

8. Airborne rooms require which environmental control?. Positive pressure ventilation. Negative pressure ventilation. Standard pressure. Laminar airflow only.

9. The door of an airborne isolation room should remain: Open. Closed. Locked. Half open.

10. The nurse must wear which mask for airborne precautions?. Surgical mask. Cloth mask. N95 respirator. Face shield only.

11. Which mask is used by healthcare workers for droplet precautions?. Surgical mask. N95 respirator. Cloth mask. Oxygen mask.

12. During patient transport with airborne or droplet infection, the patient should wear: N95 respirator. Surgical mask. Oxygen mask. No mask.

13. Varicella (chickenpox) requires which isolation precautions?. Droplet only. Contact only. Airborne plus contact. Standard only.

14. The causative agent of chickenpox is: Herpes simplex virus. Varicella zoster virus. Epstein Barr virus. Parvovirus B19.

15. A key clinical feature of varicella infection is: Dry crusted lesions initially. Fluid filled vesicles. Purple rash. White plaques.

16. Patients with varicella remain contagious until: Fever resolves. Vesicles become dry and crusted. Rash begins. Cough disappears.

17. Herpes zoster (shingles) results from: Initial infection with influenza. Reactivation of varicella virus. Bacterial infection. Fungal infection.

18. A hallmark assessment finding of herpes zoster is: Bilateral rash. Unilateral vesicular rash following nerve distribution. Macular rash. Diffuse rash.

19. If herpes zoster is localized, which precaution is usually required?. Airborne only. Droplet only. Contact precautions. Standard precautions only.

20. Disseminated herpes zoster requires: Contact only. Droplet precautions. Airborne plus contact precautions. Standard precautions only.

21. The NCLEX often prioritizes which patient for a private room?. Contact infection. Droplet infection. Airborne infection. Mild viral infection.

22. Which condition is also known as Fifth Disease?. Rubella. Erythema infectiosum. Rubeola. Pertussis.

23. Which disease is caused by Parvovirus B19?. Fifth disease. Rubella. Measles. Whooping cough.

24. Rubella is commonly called: Measles. German measles. Whooping cough. Chickenpox.

25. Rubeola refers to: Rubella. Measles. Chickenpox. Mumps.

26. Pertussis is commonly known as: German measles. Fifth disease. Whooping cough. Scarlet fever.

27. Which precaution primarily protects against pathogens spread by direct touch?. Droplet. Contact. Airborne. Protective.

28. Which precaution requires the greatest environmental containment?. Contact. Droplet. Airborne. Standard.

29. Which factor determines appropriate PPE selection?. Patient age. Transmission mode. Nurse preference. Hospital location.

30. The nurse should first prioritize which action when managing infectious diseases?. Document symptoms. Identify transmission route. Administer antibiotics. Order laboratory tests.

31. The term 'cohorting' refers to: Placing infected and non infected patients together. Grouping patients with the same infection. Isolating patients individually. Discharging infected patients.

32. Droplet precaution rooms typically use: Negative pressure. Positive pressure. Standard ventilation. Laminar airflow.

33. Positive pressure rooms are used primarily for: Airborne infections. Immunocompromised patients. Droplet infections. Contact infections.

34. The nurse thinking process emphasized in the module includes: Diagnose, treat, discharge. Memorize, guess, answer. Prioritize, assess, intervene. Prescribe, evaluate, report.

35. Which precaution category represents the highest environmental risk?. Contact. Droplet. Airborne. Standard.
