Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An infection is considered hospital associated or acquired (formerly referred to as nosocomial) during the course of health care if it was neither present nor incubating when the patient was admitted. Medicare does not pay for HAI.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Impervious barriers such as sterile drapes, gowns, and gloves protect sterile areas, isolate surgical sites, and keep the number of microorganisms to a minimum.
