Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Sepsis, a term that means poisoning of tissues, often is used to describe the presence of infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The purpose of hand hygiene is to protect clients from infection by removing microorganisms from the skin. This action directly addresses client safety but is not directly related to effectiveness of care. Hand hygiene protects the nurse from infection but the primary purpose is to protect clients. Hand hygiene greatly reduces the number of microorganisms on the skin but does not result in sterile skin surfaces.
