CBIC Certified Infection Control Exam Sample Questions (Q129-Q134):

NEW QUESTION # 129
A 21-ycnr-old college student was admitted with a high fever. The Emergency Department physician be gan immediate treatment with intravenous vancomycin and ceftriaxone while awaiting blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid cultures. The following day. the cultures of both the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid were reported to be growing meningococci. The patient was placed on precautions on admission. Which of the following is correct?

A. Droplet precautions may be discontinued after 24 hours of therapy.
B. Droplet precautions must continue
C. Airborne precautions must continue.
D. Airborne precautions may be discontinued after 24 hours of therapy.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Meningococcal infections, such as Neisseria meningitidis, are transmitted via respiratory droplets.
According to APIC and CDC guidelines, patients with meningococcal disease should be placed on Droplet Precautions upon admission. These precautions can be discontinued after 24 hours of effective antibiotic therapy.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?
* B. Droplet precautions must continue - Droplet Precautions are not needed beyond 24 hours of appropriate therapy because treatment rapidly reduces infectiousness.
* C. Airborne precautions may be discontinued after 24 hours of therapy - Meningococcal infection is not airborne, so Airborne Precautions are never required.
* D. Airborne precautions must continue - Incorrect because meningococci do not transmit via airborne particles.
CBIC Infection Control Reference
According to APIC guidelines, Droplet Precautions should be maintained for at least 24 hours after effective antibiotic therapy initiation.

NEW QUESTION # 130
Following recent renovations on an oncology unit, three patients were identified with Aspergillus infections.
The infections were thought to be facility-acquired. Appropriate environmental microbiological monitoring would be to culture the:

A. Carpet
B. Aerators
C. Ice
D. Air

Answer: D

Explanation:
The scenario describes an outbreak of Aspergillus infections among three patients on an oncology unit following recent renovations, with the infections suspected to be facility-acquired. Aspergillus is a mold commonly associated with environmental sources, particularly airborne spores, and its presence in immunocompromised patients (e.g., oncology patients) poses a significant risk. The infection preventionist must identify the appropriate environmental microbiological monitoring strategy, guided by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) and CDC recommendations. Let's evaluate each option:
* A. Air: Aspergillus species are ubiquitous molds that thrive in soil, decaying vegetation, and construction dust, and they are primarily transmitted via airborne spores. Renovations can disturb these spores, leading to aerosolization and inhalation by vulnerable patients. Culturing the air using methods such as settle plates, air samplers, or high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration monitoring is a standard practice to detect Aspergillusduring construction or post-renovation in healthcare settings, especially oncology units where patients are at high risk for invasive aspergillosis. This aligns with CBIC's emphasis on environmental monitoring for airborne pathogens, making it the most appropriate choice.
* B. Ice: Ice can be a source of contamination with bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas, Legionella) or other pathogens if improperly handled or stored, but it is not a typical reservoir for Aspergillus, which is a mold requiring organic material and moisture for growth. While ice safety is important in infection control, culturing ice is irrelevant to an Aspergillus outbreak linked to renovations and is not a priority in this context.
* C. Carpet: Carpets can harbor dust, mold, and other microorganisms, especially in high-traffic or poorly maintained areas. Aspergillus spores could theoretically settle in carpet during renovations, but carpets are not a primary source of airborne transmission unless disturbed (e.g., vacuuming). Culturing carpet might be a secondary step if air sampling indicates widespread contamination, but it is less direct and less commonly recommended as the initial monitoring site compared to air sampling.
* D. Aerators: Aerators (e.g., faucet aerators) can harbor waterborne pathogens like Pseudomonas or Legionella due to biofilm formation, but Aspergillus is not typically associated with water systems unless there is significant organic contamination or aerosolization from water sources (e.g., cooling towers). Culturing aerators is relevant for waterborne outbreaks, not for an Aspergillus outbreak linked to renovations, making this option inappropriate.
The best answer is A, culturing the air, as Aspergillus is an airborne pathogen, and renovations are a known risk factor for spore dispersal in healthcare settings. This monitoring strategy allows the infection preventionist to confirm the source, assess the extent of contamination, and implement control measures (e.g., enhanced filtration, construction barriers) to protect patients. This is consistent with CBIC and CDC guidelines for managing fungal outbreaks in high-risk units.
:
CBIC Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Core Competency Model (updated 2023), Domain IV:
Environment of Care, which recommends air sampling for Aspergillus during construction-related outbreaks.
CBIC Examination Content Outline, Domain III: Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, which includes environmental monitoring for facility-acquired infections.
CDC Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Healthcare Facilities (2022), which advocate air culturing to detect Aspergillus post-renovation in immunocompromised patient areas.

NEW QUESTION # 131
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) have been increasing over the past four months. Which of the following interventions is MOST likely to have contributed to the increase?

A. Daily bathing adult intensive care unit patients with chlorhexidine
B. Replacement of the intravenous administration sets every 72 hours
C. Use of a positive pressure device on the PICC
D. Use of chlorhexidine skin antisepsis during insertion of the PICC

Answer: B

Explanation:
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a significant concern in healthcare settings, and identifying factors contributing to their increase is critical for infection prevention. The Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) emphasizes the
"Surveillance and Epidemiologic Investigation" and "Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases" domains, which align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for preventing intravascular catheter-related infections. The question asks for the intervention most likely to have contributed to the rise in PICC-associated BSIs over four months, requiring an evaluation of each option based on evidence-based practices.
Option C, "Replacement of the intravenous administration sets every 72 hours," is the most likely contributor to the increase. The CDC's "Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections" (2017) recommend that intravenous administration sets (e.g., tubing for fluids or medications) be replaced no more frequently than every 72-96 hours unless clinically indicated (e.g., contamination or specific therapy requirements). Frequent replacement, such as every 72 hours as a routine practice, can introduce opportunities for contamination during the change process, especially if aseptic technique is not strictly followed. Studies cited in the CDC guidelines, including those by O'Grady et al. (2011), indicate that unnecessary manipulation of catheter systems increases the risk of introducing pathogens, potentially leading to BSIs. A change to a 72- hour replacement schedule, if not previously standard, could explain the observed increase over the past four months.
Option A, "Use of chlorhexidine skin antisepsis during insertion of the PICC," is a recommended practice to reduce BSIs. Chlorhexidine, particularly in a 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with 70% alcohol solution, is the preferred skin antiseptic for catheter insertion due to its broad-spectrum activity and residual effect, as supported by the CDC (2017). This intervention should decrease, not increase, infection rates, making it an unlikely contributor. Option B, "Daily bathing adult intensive care unit patients with chlorhexidine," is another evidence-based strategy to reduce healthcare-associated infections, including BSIs, by decolonizing the skin of pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus. The CDC and SHEA (Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America) guidelines (2014) endorse chlorhexidine bathing in intensive care units, suggesting it should lower, not raise, BSI rates. Option D, "Use of a positive pressure device on the PICC," aims to prevent catheter occlusion and reduce the need for frequent flushing, which could theoretically decrease infection risk by minimizing manipulation. However, there is no strong evidence linking positive pressure devices to increased BSIs; if improperly used or maintained, they might contribute marginally, but this is less likely than the impact of frequent tubing changes.
The CBIC Practice Analysis (2022) and CDC guidelines highlight that deviations from optimal catheter maintenance practices, such as overly frequent administration set replacements, can increase infection risk.
Given the four-month timeframe and the focus on an intervention's potential negative impact, Option C stands out as the most plausible contributor due to the increased manipulation and contamination risk associated with routine 72-hour replacements.

NEW QUESTION # 132
What is the correct order of steps for reprocessing critical medical equipment?

A. Disinfect, clean, sterilize
B. Clean, sterilize, disinfect
C. Disinfect, sterilize
D. Clean, sterilize

Answer: D

Explanation:
The correct answer is D, "Clean, sterilize," as this represents the correct order of steps for reprocessing critical medical equipment. According to the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) guidelines, critical medical equipment-items that enter sterile tissues or the vascular system (e.g., surgical instruments, implants)-must undergo a rigorous reprocessing cycle to ensure they are free of all microorganisms, including spores. The process begins with cleaning to remove organic material, debris, and soil, which is essential to allow subsequent sterilization to be effective. Sterilization, the final step, uses methods such as steam, ethylene oxide, or hydrogen peroxide gas to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10##, eliminating all microbial life (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain III: Infection Prevention and Control, Competency 3.3 - Ensure safe reprocessing of medical equipment). Disinfection, while important for semi-critical devices, is not a step in the reprocessing of critical items, as it does not achieve the sterility required; it is a separate process for non-critical or semi-critical equipment.
Option A (clean, sterilize, disinfect) is incorrect because disinfecting after sterilization is unnecessary and redundant, as sterilization already achieves a higher level of microbial kill. Option B (disinfect, clean, sterilize) reverses the logical sequence; cleaning must precede any disinfection or sterilization to remove bioburden, and disinfection is not appropriate for critical items. Option C (disinfect, sterilize) omits cleaning and incorrectly prioritizes disinfection, which is insufficient for critical equipment requiring full sterility.
The focus on cleaning followed by sterilization aligns with CBIC's emphasis on evidence-based reprocessing protocols to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), ensuring that critical equipment is safe for patient use (CBIC Practice Analysis, 2022, Domain III: Infection Prevention and Control, Competency 3.4 - Implement environmental cleaning and disinfection protocols). This sequence is supported by standards such as AAMI ST79, which outlines the mandatory cleaning step before sterilization to ensure efficacy and safety.
