質問 # 222
In the current year, cases of tuberculosis (TB) among foreign-born persons accounted for the majority of new TB cases in the United States. The number of states with greater than 50% of cases among foreign-born persons increased from four cases ten years ago to 22 cases in the current year. This information can BEST be used to heighten awareness among Emergency Department staff.
inform staff who are foreign-born.
educate patients and visitors.
review the TB exposure control plan.
正解：A
解説：
The correct answer is B, "1 and 4 only," indicating that the information can best be used to heighten awareness among Emergency Department (ED) staff and review the TB exposure control plan. According to the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) guidelines, tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern, particularly with the increasing proportion of cases among foreign-born persons in the United States. The data showing a rise from four to 22 states with over 50% of TB cases among foreign-born individuals highlights an evolving epidemiological trend that warrants targeted infection prevention strategies (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain II: Surveillance and Epidemiologic Investigation, Competency 2.1 - Conduct surveillance for healthcare-associated infections and epidemiologically significant organisms).
Heightening awareness among ED staff (option 1) is critical because the ED is often the first point of contact for patients with undiagnosed or active TB, especially those from high-prevalence regions. Increased awareness can improve early identification, isolation, and reporting of potential cases. Reviewing the TB exposure control plan (option 4) is equally important, as it allows the infection preventionist to assess and update protocols-such as ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and screening processes-to address the heightened risk posed by the growing number of cases among foreign-born individuals (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain III: Infection Prevention and Control, Competency 3.2 - Implement measures to prevent transmission of infectious agents).
Option 2 (inform staff who are foreign-born) is not the best use of this data, as the information pertains to patient demographics rather than staff risk, and targeting staff based on their origin could be inappropriate without specific exposure evidence. Option 3 (educate patients and visitors) is a general education strategy but less directly actionable with this specific epidemiological data, which is more relevant to healthcare worker preparedness and facility protocols. Combining options 1 and 4 aligns with CBIC's emphasis on using surveillance data to guide prevention and control measures, ensuring a proactive response to the increased TB burden (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain II: Surveillance and Epidemiologic Investigation, Competency 2.5 - Use data to guide infection prevention and control strategies).

質問 # 223
Which of the following is the BEST aid in the identification of patients affected by a recall due to failures in endoscope reprocessing?
正解：C
解説：
The CBIC Certified Infection Control Exam Study Guide (6th edition) emphasizes the importance of traceability in endoscope reprocessing programs to ensure rapid and accurate patient notification when reprocessing failures or recalls occur. The most effective method for identifying affected patients is maintaining a log that directly links each endoscope to specific patient identifiers for every procedure.
This type of tracking system allows infection preventionists to quickly determine exactly which patients were exposed to a particular endoscope during the time period of concern. When reprocessing failures are identified-such as incomplete cleaning, high-level disinfection errors, or equipment malfunction-precise linkage between the endoscope and the patient is essential to limit the scope of exposure investigations, reduce unnecessary notifications, and ensure timely follow-up care.
Option A is insufficient because a date-only log does not identify individual patients. Option C may be useful if serial numbers are consistently documented in the medical record, but this practice is not reliably implemented in many facilities and is therefore less dependable. Option D is overly broad and would identify all patients who underwent endoscopy, rather than those exposed to a specific device, leading to unnecessary alarm and inefficient investigations.
For CIC exam purposes, understanding that patient-to-device linkage logs are the cornerstone of effective exposure investigation and recall management in endoscope reprocessing is critical and aligns with best- practice infection prevention standards.
質問 # 224
An outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is linked to duodenoscopes. What is the infection preventionist's PRIORITY intervention?
正解：C
解説：
* The CDC and FDA have identified duodenoscopes as high-risk devices due to inadequate reprocessing, leading to MDRO transmission.
* The first priority is enhancing reprocessing protocols and ensuring strict compliance with manufacturer instructions.

質問 # 225
When preparing an educational session, objectives should be written using clear, precise language to describe what the learner is expected to learn. All of the following are examples of appropriate objective verbs EXCEPT:
正解：B
解説：
The Certification Study Guide (6th edition) emphasizes that educational objectives must be written using measurable, observable action verbs that clearly define learner outcomes. This principle is grounded in adult learning theory and Bloom's taxonomy, both of which are highlighted in the education and communication sections of the guide. Effective objectives allow educators to evaluate whether learning has occurred by observing or assessing learner performance.
The verb "know" is considered inappropriate because it is vague and not measurable. It does not specify how the learner will demonstrate knowledge, making it impossible to objectively assess whether the objective has been achieved. For this reason, "know" is frequently cited in the study guide as an example of a poorly written objective verb.
In contrast, verbs such as define, compare, and explain are acceptable because they describe specific actions the learner can perform. These verbs allow the instructor to evaluate learning through verbal responses, written assessments, or demonstrations. The study guide stresses that well-written objectives should answer the question: What will the learner be able to do at the end of the session?
This concept is commonly tested on the CIC exam because infection preventionists are expected to design and deliver education effectively. Clear, measurable objectives support competency-based education, documentation of learning outcomes, and program evaluation-all essential components of a successful infection prevention program.

質問 # 226
A 36-year-old female presents to the Emergency Department with a petechial rash, meningitis, and cardiac arrest. During the resuscitation, a phlebotomist sustained a needlestick injury. The next day, blood cultures reveal Neisseria meningitidis. The exposure management for the phlebotomist is:
正解：B
解説：
The scenario involves a needlestick injury sustained by a phlebotomist during the resuscitation of a patient diagnosed with Neisseria meningitidis infection, characterized by a petechial rash, meningitis, and cardiac arrest. Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus that can cause meningococcal disease, including meningitis and septicemia, and is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory secretions or, in rare cases, blood exposure. The exposure management for the phlebotomist must align with infection control guidelines, such as those from the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) and the CDC, to prevent potential infection. Let's evaluate each option:
A). Prophylactic rifampin plus isoniazid: Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended for close contacts of individuals with meningococcal disease to prevent secondary cases. Rifampin is a standard prophylactic agent for Neisseria meningitidis exposure, typically administered as a 2-day course (e.g., 600 mg every 12 hours for adults). Isoniazid, however, is used for tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis and is not indicated for meningococcal disease. Combining rifampin with isoniazid is incorrect, as it reflects a confusion with TB management rather than meningococcal exposure. This option is not appropriate.
B). A tuberculin skin test now and in ten weeks: A tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) is used to screen for latent tuberculosis infection, with a follow-up test at 8-10 weeks to detect conversion after potential TB exposure. Neisseria meningitidis is not related to TB, and a needlestick injury from a meningococcal patient does not warrant TB testing. This option is irrelevant to the scenario and not the correct exposure management.
C). Work furlough from day ten to day 21 after exposure: Neisseria meningitidis has an incubation period of 2-
10 days, with a maximum of about 14 days in rare cases. The CDC and WHO recommend that healthcare workers exposed to meningococcal disease via needlestick or mucosal exposure be monitored for signs of infection (e.g., fever, rash) and, if symptomatic, isolated and treated. Additionally, a work restriction or furlough from day 10 to day 21 after exposure is advised to cover the potential incubation period, especially if prophylaxis is declined or contraindicated. This allows time to observe for symptoms and prevents transmission to vulnerable patients. This is a standard infection control measure and the most appropriate initial management step pending prophylaxis decision.
D). A review of the phlebotomist's hepatitis B vaccine status: Reviewing hepatitis B vaccine status is a critical step following a needlestick injury, as hepatitis B can be transmitted through blood exposure. However, this applies to bloodborne pathogens (e.g., HBV, HCV, HIV) and is not specific to Neisseria meningitidis, which is primarily a respiratory or mucosal pathogen. While hepatitis B management (e.g., post-exposure prophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin or vaccine booster) should be addressed as part of a comprehensive needlestick protocol, it is not the first or most relevant priority for meningococcal exposure.
The best answer is C, as the work furlough from day 10 to day 21 after exposure addresses the specific risk of meningococcal disease following a needlestick injury. This aligns with CBIC's focus on timely intervention and work restriction to prevent transmission in healthcare settings. Prophylactic antibiotics (e.g., rifampin) should also be considered, but the question asks for the exposure management, and furlough is a primary control measure. Hepatitis B and TB considerations are secondary and managed separately.
