Total questions: 30
Worksheet time: 15mins
Microorganisms are best described as:
Large visible organisms
Disease-causing chemicals
Microscopic living organisms
Sterile particles
Which microorganism is classified as a single-celled organism without a nucleus?
Virus
Fungus
Protozoa
Bacteria
Viruses differ from bacteria because viruses:
Are killed by antibiotics
Can reproduce on their own
Require a host cell to reproduce
Have a cell wall
Fungi commonly cause:
Respiratory viral illnesses
Skin and yeast infections
Bloodstream infections only
Food poisoning
Protozoa are best described as:
Multicellular organisms
Single-celled parasites
Nonliving particles
Types of bacteria
Which is NOT a common source of contamination?
Touch
Air
Water
Radiation
The most common source of contamination in healthcare settings is:
Air
Touch
Water
Equipment failure
Proper hand hygiene helps prevent contamination caused by:
Water only
Airflow
Touch
Sterilization
The CDC plays a role in infection control by:
Dispensing medications
Creating billing regulations
Establishing guidelines and recommendations
Accrediting hospitals
Universal precautions are designed to:
Protect patients only
Prevent all medication errors
Treat all blood and body fluids as infectious
Eliminate the need for PPE
The Infection Control Committee is responsible for:
Dispensing sterile products
Tracking hospital infection rates
Writing prescriptions
Training pharmacy technicians only
Monitoring antimicrobial use helps prevent:
Drug shortages
Cross contamination
Antimicrobial resistance
Allergic reactions
Aseptic technique refers to:
Cleaning work areas
Eliminating all microorganisms
Preventing contamination
Wearing sterile gloves only
Sterilization differs from disinfection because sterilization:
Reduces microorganisms
Eliminates all microorganisms
Uses soap and water
Is optional
Heat sterilization includes methods such as:
Alcohol wipes
Autoclaving
Filtration
UV light
Mechanical sterilization commonly involves:
Heat
Chemicals
Filtration
Radiation
Chemical sterilization uses:
Steam
High temperatures
Chemical agents
Pressure only
Compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) include:
Oral tablets
Topical creams
Parenteral products
Suppositories
Large-volume parenterals (LVPs) are typically:
Less than 10 mL
Greater than 100 mL
Oral liquids
Topical solutions
Small-volume parenterals (SVPs) include:
IV bags
IV push medications
Oral syrups
Eye drops only
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is used to:
Treat infections
Provide nutrition intravenously
Hydrate patients
Deliver antibiotics only
The purpose of a cleanroom is to:
Increase workflow
Control air quality
Store medications
Train staff
The buffer room is used for:
Donning PPE
Patient counseling
Sterile compounding
Medication storage only
The ante-room is primarily used for:
Compounding CSPs
Aseptic hand washing and garbing
Medication labeling
Waste disposal
Which item is a sterile compounding supply?
Counting tray
Mortar and pestle
Syringes and needles
Tablet splitter
Ampules differ from vials because ampules:
Have rubber stoppers
Are resealable
Must be snapped open
Contain tablets
Primary engineering controls (PECs) are used to:
Store medications
Protect patients from errors
Maintain sterile airflow
Improve labeling accuracy
A horizontal laminar airflow workbench directs air:
Vertically downward
From back to front
From ceiling to floor
In circular motion
A compounding aseptic isolator (CAI) is designed to:
Replace hand washing
Eliminate the need for PPE
Provide a sealed sterile environment
Store hazardous drugs
Quality assurance in sterile compounding helps ensure:
Faster preparation
Lower costs
Safety and accuracy
Increased production
