質問 # 226
A new hospital disinfectant with a 3-minute contact time has been purchased by Environmental Services. The disinfectant will be rolled out across the patient care 3-minute contact time has been purchased by Environmental Services. The disinfectant will be rolled out across the patient care areas. They are concerned about the high cost of the disinfectant. What advice can the infection preventionist provide?
正解：B
解説：
The scenario involves the introduction of a new hospital disinfectant with a 3-minute contact time, intended for use across patient care areas, but with concerns raised by Environmental Services about its high cost. The infection preventionist's advice must balance infection control efficacy with cost management, adhering to principles outlined by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) and evidence- based practices. The goal is to optimize the disinfectant's use while ensuring a safe environment. Let's evaluate each option:
* A. Use the new disinfectant for patient washrooms only: Limiting the disinfectant to patient washrooms focuses its use on high-touch, high-risk areas where pathogens (e.g., Clostridioides difficile, norovirus) may be prevalent. However, this approach restricts the disinfectant's application to a specific area, potentially leaving other patient care surfaces (e.g., bed rails, tables) vulnerable to contamination. While cost-saving, it does not address the broad infection control needs across all patient care areas, making it an incomplete strategy.
* B. Use detergents on the floors in patient rooms: Detergents are cleaning agents that remove dirt and organic material but lack the antimicrobial properties of disinfectants. Floors in patient rooms can harbor pathogens, but they are generally considered lower-risk surfaces compared to high-touch areas (e.
g., bed rails, doorknobs). Using detergents instead of the new disinfectant on floors could reduce costs but compromises infection control, as floors may still contribute to environmental transmission (e.g., via shoes or equipment). This option is not optimal given the availability of an effective disinfectant.
* C. Use detergents on smooth horizontal surfaces: Smooth horizontal surfaces (e.g., tables, counters, overbed tables) are common sites for pathogen accumulation and transmission in patient rooms. Using detergents to clean these surfaces removes organic material, which is a critical first step before disinfection. If the 3-minute contact time disinfectant is reserved for high-touch or high-risk surfaces (e.
g., bed rails, call buttons) where disinfection is most critical, this approach maximizes the disinfectant's efficacy while reducing its overall use and cost. This strategy aligns with CBIC guidelines, which emphasize a two-step process (cleaning followed by disinfection) and targeted use of resources, making it a practical and cost-effective recommendation.
* D. Use new disinfectant for all surfaces in the patient room: Using the disinfectant on all surfaces ensures comprehensive pathogen reduction but increases consumption and cost, which is a concern for Environmental Services. While the 3-minute contact time suggests efficiency, overusing the disinfectant on low-risk surfaces (e.g., floors, walls) may not provide proportional infection control benefits and could strain the budget. This approach does not address the cost concern and is less strategic than targeting high-risk areas.
The best advice is C, using detergents on smooth horizontal surfaces to handle routine cleaning, while reserving the new disinfectant for high-touch or high-risk areas where its antimicrobial action is most needed.
This optimizes infection prevention, aligns with CBIC's emphasis on evidence-based environmental cleaning, and addresses the cost concern by reducing unnecessary disinfectant use. The infection preventionist should also recommend a risk assessment to identify priority surfaces for disinfectant application.

質問 # 227
Therapeutic antimicrobial agents should be used when
正解：A
解説：
Therapeutic antimicrobial agentsshould ideally bepathogen-directedto minimizeresistance, side effects, and treatment failure. Once thecausative pathogen and its antimicrobial susceptibilities are known, the mostnarrow-spectrum, effectiveagent should be used.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?
* A. The infecting agent is unknown- Empiric therapy may be necessary initially, but definitive therapy should be based on pathogen identification.
* B. The patient's illness warrants treatment prior to culture results- This applies toempiric therapy
, but not todefinitive antimicrobial selection.
* C. The patient's symptoms suggest likely pathogens- Clinical presentation guidesempiric treatment
, butdefinitive therapy should follow culture and susceptibility testing.

質問 # 228
Which of the following represents a class II surgical wound?
正解：C
解説：
Surgical wounds are classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into four classes based on the degree of contamination and the likelihood of postoperative infection. This classification system, detailed in the CDC's Guidelines for Prevention of Surgical Site Infections (1999), is a cornerstone of infection prevention and control, aligning with the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) standards in the "Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases" domain. The classes are as follows:
* Class I (Clean): Uninfected operative wounds with no inflammation, typically closed primarily, and not involving the respiratory, alimentary, genital, or urinary tracts.
* Class II (Clean-Contaminated): Operative wounds with controlled entry into a sterile or minimally contaminated tract (e.g., biliary or gastrointestinal), with no significant spillage or infection present.
* Class III (Contaminated): Open, fresh wounds with significant spillage (e.g., from a perforated viscus) or major breaks in sterile technique.
* Class IV (Dirty-Infected): Old traumatic wounds with retained devitalized tissue or existing clinical infection.
Option A, "Incisions in which acute, nonpurulent inflammation are seen," aligns with a Class II surgical wound. The presence of acute, nonpurulent inflammation suggests a controlled inflammatory response without overt infection, which can occur in clean-contaminated cases where a sterile tract (e.g., during elective gastrointestinal surgery) is entered under controlled conditions. The CDC defines Class II wounds as those involving minor contamination without significant spillage or infection, and nonpurulent inflammation fits this category, often seen in early postoperative monitoring.
Option B, "Incisional wounds following nonpenetrating (blunt) trauma," does not fit the Class II definition.
These wounds are typically classified based on the trauma context and are more likely to be considered contaminated (Class III) or dirty (Class IV) if there is tissue damage or delayed treatment, rather than clean- contaminated. Option C, "Incisions involving the biliary tract, appendix, vagina, and oropharynx," describes anatomical sites that, when surgically accessed, often fall into Class II if the procedure is elective and controlled (e.g., cholecystectomy), but the phrasing suggests a general category rather than a specific wound state with inflammation, making it less precise for Class II. Option D, "Old traumatic wounds with retained devitalized tissue," clearly corresponds to Class IV (dirty-infected) due to the presence of necrotic tissue and potential existing infection, which is inconsistent with Class II.
The CBIC Practice Analysis (2022) emphasizes the importance of accurate wound classification for implementing appropriate infection prevention measures, such as antibiotic prophylaxis or sterile technique adjustments. The CDC guidelines further specify that Class II wounds may require tailored interventions based on the observed inflammatory response, supporting Option A as the correct answer. Note that the phrasing in Option A contains a minor grammatical error ("inflammation are seen" should be "inflammation is seen"), but this does not alter the clinical intent or classification.

質問 # 229
A nurse claims to have acquired hepatitis A virus infection as the result of occupational exposure. The source patient had an admitting diagnosis of viral hepatitis. Further investigation of this incident reveals a 5-day interval between exposure and onset of symptoms in the nurse. The patient has immunoglobulin G antibodies to hepatitis A. From the evidence, the infection preventionist may correctly conclude which of the following?
正解：A
解説：
The infection preventionist's (IP) best conclusion, based on the provided evidence, is that the evidence at this time fails to support the nurse's claim of acquiring hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection through occupational exposure. This conclusion is grounded in the clinical and epidemiological understanding of HAV, as aligned with the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) guidelines. Hepatitis A typically has an incubation period ranging from 15 to 50 days, with an average of approximately 28-30 days, following exposure to the virus (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain I: Identification of Infectious Disease Processes, Competency 1.3 - Apply principles of epidemiology). The reported 5-day interval between exposure and symptom onset in the nurse is significantly shorter than the expected incubation period, making it inconsistent with HAV transmission. Additionally, the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the source patient indicates past exposure or immunity to HAV, rather than an active or recent infection, which would typically be associated with immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies during the acute phase.
Option A (the nurse should be given hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin) is not supported because post- exposure prophylaxis with HAV immunoglobulin is recommended only within 14 days of exposure to a confirmed case with active infection, and the evidence here does not confirm a recent exposure or active case.
Option C (the patient has serologic evidence of recent hepatitis A viral infection) is incorrect because IgG antibodies signify past infection or immunity, not a recent infection, which would require IgM antibodies.
Option D (the 5-day incubation period is consistent with hepatitis A virus transmission) is inaccurate due to the mismatch with the known incubation period of HAV.
The IP's role includes critically evaluating epidemiological data to determine the likelihood of transmission events. The discrepancy in the incubation period and the serologic status of the patient suggest that the nurse's claim may not be substantiated by the current evidence, necessitating further investigation rather than immediate intervention or acceptance of the claim. This aligns with CBIC's emphasis on accurate identification and investigation of infectious disease processes (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain I:
Identification of Infectious Disease Processes, Competency 1.2 - Investigate suspected outbreaks or exposures).

質問 # 230
A task force formed to focus on Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs). The topic of the meeting discussed selecting the correct germicidal wipe. What important factor does the infection preventionist review?
正解：A
解説：
The correct answer is C, "Time the surface remains wet," as this is the most important factor the infection preventionist (IP) should review when selecting a germicidal wipe for controlling Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs). According to the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) guidelines, effective environmental cleaning is a critical component of infection prevention, particularly for pathogens like C. difficile, which forms hardy spores that are resistant to many disinfectants. The efficacy of a germicidal wipe depends on the contact time-the duration the surface must remain wet with the disinfectant to ensure the killing of C. difficile spores. This is specified by the manufacturer and supported by guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which emphasize that the disinfectant must remain wet on the surface for the full recommended contact time (typically 1-10 minutes for sporicidal agents) to achieve the desired level of disinfection (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain III: Infection Prevention and Control, Competency 3.4 - Implement environmental cleaning and disinfection protocols).
Option A (cost of a case of wipes) is a practical consideration for budgeting but is secondary to efficacy in infection control, especially for a high-priority pathogen like C. difficile. Option B (size of individual wipes) may affect coverage and convenience but does not directly impact the wipe's ability to eliminate the pathogen. Option D (correct disposal of the wipe) is important for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with waste management protocols, but it is a procedural step after use and not the primary factor in selecting the wipe.
The IP's review of contact time aligns with CBIC's focus on evidence-based practices to prevent healthcare- associated infections (HAIs). For C. difficile, which is a leading cause of HAIs, selecting a wipe with an appropriate sporicidal agent and ensuring adequate wet contact time is essential to disrupt transmission, particularly in outbreak settings (CDC Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Healthcare Facilities, 2019). This factor directly influences the wipe's effectiveness, making it the critical review point for the task force.
