    If you observe, are told of, or even suspect physical or emotional abuse, assault or neglect of a patient, you must follow mandatory legal reporting requirements (if you are a licensed clinical staff member) or report it to a licensed clinical staff member (if you are non-clinical staff).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If you observe, are told of, or even suspect physical or emotional abuse, assault or neglect of a patient, you must follow mandatory legal reporting requirements (if you are a licensed clinical staff member) or report it to a licensed clinical staff member (if you are non-clinical staff). This means that it is true that if you come across any signs or suspicions of abuse or neglect, you have a legal obligation to report it. This ensures that appropriate actions can be taken to protect the patient and prevent further harm.

    If you have washed your hands after leaving another patient's room, it is not necessary to wash your hands before touching another patient.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because even if you have washed your hands after leaving another patient's room, it is still necessary to wash your hands before touching another patient. This is because there may still be bacteria or pathogens on your hands that could be transferred to the next patient, potentially causing infection or harm. Proper hand hygiene, including washing hands before and after patient contact, is crucial in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings.

    What kinds of waste must be placed in red bags?

    • Sharps such as needles, broken ampules, and/or lancets

    • Pizza boxes

    • All items contaminated with blood, drainage, or infectious secretions

    • All gloves and paper towels after washing hands

    Correct Answer
    A. All items contaminated with blood, drainage, or infectious secretions
    Explanation
    Red bags are specifically used for the disposal of biohazardous waste, which includes items contaminated with blood, drainage, or infectious secretions. This waste poses a risk of infection and must be handled and disposed of properly to prevent the spread of diseases. Sharps such as needles and broken ampules are also considered biohazardous waste and should be placed in red bags. However, pizza boxes, gloves, and paper towels after washing hands do not fall under this category and should be disposed of in regular waste bins.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that at ORMC, the patient's self-report of pain is considered the most important factor in determining their level of pain. This indicates that the healthcare professionals at ORMC prioritize and rely heavily on the patient's own assessment and description of their pain, rather than relying solely on objective measures or observations. This approach recognizes the subjective nature of pain and the importance of the patient's perspective in managing and treating their pain effectively.
