The health care provider asks the nurse to tell a client that tests confirm the client has a health careassociated infection (HAI). The nurse explains to the client that common sources of HAIs include:
 
  Standard Text: Select all that apply.
  1. the respiratory tract.
  2. the urinary tract.
  3. intravascular (IV) lines.
  4. visitors with infectious illness.
  5. drug-resistant bacteria.

Question 2

The community outreach nurse is teaching a group of older clients how bacterial organisms become resistant to antibiotics. Which statements by the clients demonstrate understanding of the instruction?
 
  Standard Text: Select all that apply.
  1. I need to get the recommended immunizations so I don't get an infection and need an antibiotic.
  2. If possible, my doctor will need to culture any infections I have to make sure I am taking the correct antibiotics.
  3. I need to take antibiotics only when my health care provider thinks I have an infection.
  4. As soon as my infection is gone, I can stop the antibiotic. This way, I'll avoid becoming resistant to the antibiotic.
  5. I should never take an antibiotic for more than 10 days. This is what causes resistance.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Bacteria residing in the lungs are a source of HAIs.
Rationale 2: Bacteria residing in the genitourinary tract are a source of HAIs.
Rationale 3: Invasive devices such as IV lines are a source of HAIs.
Rationale 4: HAIs are infections that are acquired in a health care setting, not caused by visitors.
Rationale 5: Drug-resistant bacteria may be the result, not the source, of HAIs.
Global Rationale: HAIs are generally from one of four sources: patient flora, invasive devices, medical personnel, or the medical environment. Invasive devices are often inserted into the respiratory system and the GU system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: It is easier to prevent an infection than it is to treat one.
Rationale 2: The causative organism must be identified and the correct antibiotic prescribed. This will lower the risk of developing resistance.
Rationale 3: The unwarranted use of antibiotics has promoted the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Rationale 4: Antibiotics must be taken for the entire prescribed time. This will help prevent the development of resistant bacteria.
Rationale 5: Some antibiotics must be taken for longer than 10 days. It is important to take an antibiotic for the prescribed duration.
Global Rationale: Methods of delaying the emergence of antibiotic resistance include preventing infections when possible, diagnosing and treating infections properly, using antimicrobials wisely, and preventing disease transmission.
