Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Administering parenteral medications requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 2: Changing a dressing requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 3: Performing a urinary catheterization requires surgical asepsis.
Rationale 4: Using personal protective equipment demonstrates medical asepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: A client in the emergency department with abdominal pain has just arrived in the facility, and not enough time has elapsed for this client to be considered to have a nosocomial infection. If this client has an infection, it would be community acquired.
Rationale 2: The 19-year-old female who is pregnant is at a low risk.
Rationale 3: The 72-year-old male with COPD is at a lower risk for infection than the 82-year-old because the older client has a weakened immune system because of taking steroids.
Rationale 4: The client most at risk for a nosocomial infection is the client who is 86 years old and on steroid therapy. The very old and very young are most susceptible to infections. The 86-year-old client is also on steroid therapy, which compromises the immune system.
