Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse assesses patients to determine their risk for healthcare acquired infections. Which hospitalized patient would the nurse consider most at risk for developing this type of infection?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: A 60 year old patient who is on a mechanical ventilator. Mechanical ventilation increases the risk of healthcare acquired infections due to the invasive nature of the procedure, which can introduce pathogens into the respiratory system. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common complication in critically ill patients on ventilators, leading to higher infection rates. Patients on ventilators are also more susceptible to colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms.
Therefore, the nurse would consider this patient at the highest risk for developing healthcare acquired infections compared to the other choices.

Choice B: Being a vegetarian and obese does not directly increase the risk of healthcare acquired infections.

Choice C: Smoking may increase the risk of respiratory infections, but it is not as directly related to healthcare acquired infections as being on a ventilator.

Choice D: Having a normal white blood cell count does not necessarily indicate the risk of healthcare acquired infections.
