Question 1 of 5

The orientation nurse educator reviewing the biohazard legend with a class of new employees states that the emblem is affixed to containers whenever:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When body substances are handled, the potential for transmission is increased; therefore, federal regulations require warning labels to communicate with other employees and/or waste collectors. The biohazard alert is a three-ring symbol overlaying a central concentric ring. Blood, drainage from wounds, feces, and urine are all body fluids that can transfer infection and disease to others.

Question 2 of 5

A 64 year-old client scheduled for surgery with a general anesthetic refuses to remove a set of dentures prior to leaving the unit for the operating room. What would be the most appropriate intervention by the nurse?

A. Explain to the client that the dentures must come out as they may get lost or broken in operating room B. Ask the client if there are second thoughts about having the procedure C. Notify the anesthesia department and the surgeon of the client's refusal D. Ask the client if the preference would be to remove the dentures in the operating room receiving area

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Ask the client if the preference would be to remove the dentures in the operating room receiving area. Clients anticipating surgery may experience a variety of fears. This choice allows the client control over the situation and fosters the client's sense of self-esteem and self-concept.

A. there is presence of blood and body fluids. B. there is the need for droplet precaution. C. there is contact isolation. D. there is the potential for airborne transmission.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When body substances are handled, the potential for transmission is increased; therefore, federal regulations require warning labels to communicate with other employees and/or waste collectors. The biohazard alert is a three-ring symbol overlaying a central concentric ring. Blood, drainage from wounds, feces, and urine are all body fluids that can transfer infection and disease to others.

Question 5 of 5
