Question | Answer |
---|---|
1. T/F - An insect bite can serve as a portal of entry for disease | True |
2. T/F - Infection spread by contaminated instruments is an ex of direct contact transmission | False - Indirect |
3. T/F - Contact time and the amount of bioburden on an item does not influence the efficiency of disinfectancts | False - Influence the breakdown process |
4. T/F - Glutaraldehyde requires a minimum exposure time of 20 min to disinfect an item | True |
5. T/F - Instruments should always be soaked in saline to initiate the cleaning process prior to the end of the case | False - Water. Saline will pit and corrode the instruments |
6. T/F - Surgical site should be shaved with a razor prior to surger | False - Clippers. Razor create microscopic cuts in the skin to harbor microbes |
7. T/F - The number one recommended practice to stop the spread of infection is washing your hands | True |
8. What are the criteria to form a diagnosis | All of the above (Signs, Symptoms, and Tests) |
9. After the diagnosis has been made, a prognosis can be determined. What are the factors that will influence the prognosis | Both A & B (Course of the ds and Condition of the Pt) |
10. What is considered the final line of defense | Lymphatic system |
11. ___ means microbes and infection are absent | Sterile |
12. The number of microbes or organic debris that exist at a given time | Bioburden |

16. The primary source of airborne bacteria transmission in the OR is | Surgical team |
17. Most surgical infections occur bc of | Contamination during the procedure |
18. The physical removal of blood and body flds or gross debris from an inanimate object | Mechanical cleaning |
19. The process that ensures that all microorganisms, including spores, are killed | Sterilization |
20. An intermediate level of disinfection may be appropriate for | Semicritical items |

22. Physical factors that affect the efficiency of disinfection are | Temp, Bioburden, Time |
23. Direct contact spread of microorganisms include all of the following EXCEPT | Contaminated surgical instruments (Sharing needles, Coughing, and Sexual contact are) |
24. What is the purpose of positive air pressure in the OR suite | Higher pressure than the outside, to force microbes out |
25. Because symptoms are noted by the Pt, they are said to be ____ | Subjective |

47. List 4 factors that increase the risk of surgical site infection | Age, Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking |
26.Because signs are noted by healthcare provider, they are said to be | Objective |
27. Factual information concerning the patient is gathered utiliizing diagnostic | tests |
28. Study of disease that emphasizes the realtionship of the pathologic and physiologic aspects of the disease and fundamentals of treatment | Pathophysiology |
29.Servere but usually short lasting | Disease-acute |
30. Affects many people in the same region at the same time | Epidemic |
31.Abnormal state inwhich all or part of the body does not function correctly | Disease |
32. Less severe but long lasting or recurring | Disease-chronic |
33.Prevelant throughout an entire country, continent, or world | Pandemic |
35.Continously affects some people in a particular region | Endemic |
34. Self-originating without known cause | Idiopathic |
48. Compare and contrast Disinfection, Antisepsis, and Sterilization | Disinfect-Process in which most but not all microorganisms located on inanimate objects are destroyed Antisepsis-Most but not all microorg located on animate objects are destroyed Sterilization-All microorg, incld spores, on inanimate objects are destro |
