Question 5:

(Select all that apply) A nurse is providing education to a group of healthcare workers about the transmission of Ebola virus. Which of the following statements about Ebola virus transmission is correct? (Select all that apply.)

A. The virus can be transmitted through the air. B. Handling bushmeat can lead to Ebola virus transmission. C. Direct contact with infected bat's urine can transmit the virus. D. Sexual contact with an infected person can transmit the virus. E. Consuming contaminated food can transmit the virus.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

The statement is incorrect. Ebola virus transmission does not occur through the air. It is primarily spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals.

Choice B:

This statement is correct. Handling bushmeat, which is the meat of wild animals, can lead to Ebola virus transmission. Infected animals can carry the virus, and handling their meat without proper precautions can result in transmission.

Choice C:

This statement is correct. Direct contact with infected bat's urine can transmit the virus. Bats can carry the Ebola virus, and their bodily fluids can contain the virus, leading to potential transmission.

Choice D:

This statement is correct. Sexual contact with an infected person can transmit the virus. Ebola virus can be present in semen for a significant period after recovery, posing a risk of sexual transmission.

Choice E:

This statement is correct. Consuming contaminated food can transmit the virus. If the food is contaminated with infected bodily fluids or if an infected animal is consumed, transmission can occur.

Question 8:

A client has been diagnosed with Ebola virus disease (EVD) Which of the following statements regarding the case fatality rate of EVD is accurate?

A. The case fatality rate of EVD is always 90% or higher. B. The case fatality rate of EVD is around 25% on average. C. The case fatality rate of EVD varies depending on the virus species and quality of care provided. D. The case fatality rate of EVD is the same regardless of the treatment received.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

The case fatality rate of EVD being always 90% or higher is inaccurate. While EVD can have high case fatality rates during outbreaks, it is not a fixed percentage and can vary.

Choice B:

The case fatality rate of EVD being around 25% on average is also inaccurate. This value is too low compared to historical outbreaks.

Choice C:

This is the correct answer. The case fatality rate of EVD indeed varies depending on factors like the specific virus species involved, the quality of medical care, and the available resources in the affected area. Case fatality rates can range from approximately 25% to over 90%, depending on these factors.

Choice D:

The case fatality rate of EVD being the same regardless of the treatment received is incorrect. Adequate medical care and supportive treatments can significantly impact the outcome and lower the fatality rate.

Question 9:

A client with suspected Ebola virus disease (EVD) is admitted to the hospital. Which precautionary measure should the nurse implement?

A. Wear gloves and a gown while in contact with the patient. B. Ensure that the patient's visitors wear a mask at all times. C. Place the patient in a room with negative pressure airflow. D. Avoid using hand sanitizers to prevent the spread of the virus.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

Wearing gloves and a gown while in contact with the patient is essential, but it does not address the potential airborne transmission of Ebola virus.

Choice B:

Ensuring that the patient's visitors wear a mask is important, but it does not directly address the isolation and containment of the virus within the hospital environment.

Choice C:

This is the correct answer. Placing the patient in a room with negative pressure airflow helps prevent the spread of contaminated air to other areas of the hospital. It reduces the risk of airborne transmission of the virus, which is crucial in containing the disease.

Choice D:

Avoiding the use of hand sanitizers to prevent the spread of the virus is not a recommended precautionary measure. Hand hygiene, including the use of hand sanitizers, is still crucial in preventing the spread of infections, including Ebola.

Question 10:

A nurse is caring for a patient with suspected Ebola virus disease (EVD) Which of the following laboratory findings would the nurse expect in this patient?

A. Elevated platelet count. B. Decreased liver enzymes. C. Decreased white blood cell count. D. Elevated serum creatinine levels.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

An elevated platelet count is less likely in a patient with EVD. Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) is a common laboratory finding in EVD due to the virus's impact on the bone marrow.

Choice B:

Decreased liver enzymes is less likely. EVD can lead to elevated liver enzymes due to liver damage caused by the virus.

Choice C:

This is the correct answer. A decreased white blood cell count, specifically lymphocytes, is expected in a patient with EVD. The virus can lead to suppression of the immune system, including a decrease in white blood cell counts.

Choice D:

Elevated serum creatinine levels are not a typical finding in EVD. Kidney dysfunction is not a primary feature of the disease, so elevated creatinine levels are less likely.

Question 11:

A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a patient who has recovered from Ebola virus disease (EVD) Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

A. Limit contact with others for at least three months after recovery. B. Continue to use barrier methods during sexual intercourse for six months. C. Avoid consuming raw or undercooked meat. D. Monitor blood pressure daily. E. Return to work immediately after being discharged.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

Limit contact with others for at least three months after recovery. This is not accurate. While it's important to limit contact during the acute phase of the illness, Ebola virus disease (EVD) does not remain contagious for three months after recovery.

Choice B:

Continue to use barrier methods during sexual intercourse for six months. This is correct. Ebola virus can persist in the semen of male survivors for up to six months after recovery. Barrier methods should be used to prevent sexual transmission during this period.

Choice C:

Avoid consuming raw or undercooked meat. This is correct. Ebola virus can be transmitted through the consumption of infected meat from animals, so it's important to avoid raw or undercooked meat.

Choice D:

Monitor blood pressure daily. This is not directly related to EVD recovery instructions. While monitoring blood pressure is important for overall health, it is not a specific recommendation for EVD recovery.

Choice E:

Return to work immediately after being discharged. This is not accurate. Patients who have recovered from EVD should be cautious about returning to work immediately due to potential fatigue and lingering symptoms. They should follow appropriate recovery guidelines.

Question 17:

A client presents with symptoms of Ebola virus disease (EVD), and the nurse suspects exposure to the virus. What is the appropriate nursing action?

A. Send the client home with symptomatic relief medications. B. Initiate contact tracing for 14 days. C. Encourage the client to self-isolate for 24 hours. D. Provide over-the-counter antiviral medication.

Answer and Explanation

Choice A:

Sending the client home with symptomatic relief medications is not appropriate for suspected Ebola virus disease (EVD) EVD is a serious and highly infectious disease that requires immediate isolation and contact tracing to prevent its spread.

Choice B:

Initiating contact tracing for 14 days is the correct nursing action. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with blood, body fluids, and tissues of infected animals or people. Identifying and monitoring individuals who may have been exposed is crucial to preventing further transmission.

Choice C:

Encouraging the client to self-isolate for 24 hours is insufficient. Ebola has an incubation period of 2 to 21 days, during which the client may become symptomatic. Isolating for only 24 hours does not adequately address the potential for transmission.

Choice D:

Providing over-the-counter antiviral medication is not an appropriate action for suspected EVD. There is no specific antiviral treatment for Ebola, and symptomatic management alone would not address the potential for spread.
