1.Kawalan jangkitan & keselamatan pesakit
Jawapan: A · Discard it in front of a second licensed (registered) nurse, who witnesses and documents it
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Wasting controlled substances requires a witness, usually another licensed nurse, and both document the waste. This prevents and detects drug diversion.
Jawapan
A · Discard it in front of a second licensed (registered) nurse, who witnesses and documents it
2.Kawalan jangkitan & keselamatan pesakit
Jawapan: D · Airborne and contact precautions until all lesions are crusted
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Lesions over several areas on both sides mean disseminated zoster, which can spread through the air like chickenpox. Airborne and contact precautions are used until all lesions are dry and crusted. Localized zoster in an immunocompromised patient also needs airborne and contact precautions, but only until dissemination is ruled out.
Jawapan
D · Airborne and contact precautions until all lesions are crusted
3.Asas kejururawatan
Jawapan: C · Before antibiotics are given, as long as this does not delay them
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Taking cultures first gives the best chance of identifying the organism. They are collected with strict asepsis, but antibiotics must not be delayed in sepsis.
Jawapan
C · Before antibiotics are given, as long as this does not delay them
4.Asas kejururawatan
Jawapan: D · The result may be falsely high and the test should be repeated
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Red cells contain a lot of potassium, so haemolysis during collection can falsely raise the result. The sample is repeated, with the patient assessed in the meantime.
Jawapan
D · The result may be falsely high and the test should be repeated
5.Mikrobiologi
Jawapan: D · Lebih sedikit orang yang dapat menularkan jangkitan, maka ia kurang merebak
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Apabila cukup ramai orang kebal, rantaian penularan terputus dan patogen jarang sampai kepada orang yang mudah terdedah, seperti bayi kecil atau pesakit imunosupresi.
Jawapan
D · Lebih sedikit orang yang dapat menularkan jangkitan, maka ia kurang merebak
6.Mikrobiologi
Jawapan: C · Bacillus cereus
Mengapa ini jawapannya
Spora Bacillus cereus bertahan daripada pendidihan. Jika nasi yang dimasak dibiarkan suam, bakteria tumbuh dan menghasilkan toksin emetik yang tahan haba, maka memanaskan semula tidak menjadikan nasi itu selamat.
