Question 4

If a person is performing CPR on a child, what is the compression to ventilation ratio?&#10;A)15:2&#10;B)30:2&#10;C)30:1

Accepted Answer

When performing CPR on a child, the compression to ventilation ratio is30:2.
If there is no pulse, begin with chest compressions and provide rescue breathing. The clinician's hands should be placed over the lower half of the patient's sternum between the nipples. Push down by using the heel of one hand with the other hand on top. Compressions should be at least 100 per minute. Tilt the patient's head to do rescue breathing. For a child, depress the chest one third to one half of the chest depth. Compression to ventilation ratio for a one-person CPR for children is 30:2. For a two-person CPR for children, the ratio should be 15:2.

Question 5

According to standard precautions, which one of the body fluids is considered as non-critical?&#10;A)Blood&#10;B)Saliva&#10;C)Semen&#10;D)Sweat

Accepted Answer

Sweat is considered as non-critical according to standard precautions.
Standard precautions are designed to protect the health care professional against blood, bodily fluids, and excretions (except sweat), regardless of whether they contain blood, non-intact skin, mucous membranes, or saliva.
Standard precaution is the expanded new term for Universal precaution. Universal precaution was based on the concept that all blood and body fluids that might be contaminated with blood should be treated as infectious because patients with blood borne infections can be asymptomatic or unaware they are infected. For a clinical dental practice, no operational difference exists between universal precautions and standard precautions.

Disinfectants are germicides used on inanimate objects (e.g., floors, walls, or sinks) to destroy all recognized pathogenic microorganisms, but not necessarily all bacterial endospores.
Sterilization is the destruction of all microorganisms, including spores, by physical or chemical means. Sterile means free from all living microorganisms. Sterilization is commonly used for instruments.
Surfactants can loosen, emulsify, and hold organisms in suspension, so as to be more readily rinsed away.

Therefore, the terms "physical therapist assistant" and "physical therapist aide" are NOT synonymous. Hence, Statement 2 is false.
