Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Hand hygiene breaks the method of transmission by reducing the pathogens on the hands when touching clients or objects that come in contact with clients. Portal of entry is the opening that allows pathogens to invade the body, portal of exit is the means of expelling pathogens from the body, and the etiologic agent is the pathogen.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The UAP could be allowed to observe the sterile field, making sure no one gets near it, while the nurse leaves the room. The nurse cannot safely delegate anything connected with setting up or adding to a sterile field, or maintaining sterility of the gown while grabbing and tying the belt. Sterile technique is never delegated to the UAP.
