Answer to Question 1

A
The National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that surgical site infections (SSIs) account for up to 16 of hospital-acquired infections. Current research indicates that 38 of hospital-acquired infections are surgical site infections.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Key symptoms are helpful in identifying causes of falls. Onset, location, and activity associated with falls provide additional details on causative factors and how to prevent future falls. Determine whether the patient has had a history of falls or other injuries within the home. Be specific in your assessment. Use the mnemonic SPLATT: Symptoms at time of fall, Previous fall, Location of fall, Activity at time of fall, Time of fall, and Trauma post fall.
