NAHQ CPHQ Practice Exam

In addition to assessing the causes for poor compliance, the most effective way for an organization to improve compliance with Standard Precautions is to

1. Initiate return demonstration as a part of staff competency

2. Review and revise handwashing policies and procedures

3. Show a videotape on Standard Precautions quarterly

4. Stock personal protective equipment (PPE) in the clean utility room

The correct answer is: Initiate return demonstration as a part of staff competency

The most effective way for an organization to improve compliance with Standard Precautions is to initiate return demonstration as a part of staff competency. This approach ensures that staff members not only understand the policies and procedures regarding Standard Precautions but are also able to demonstrate their practical application. By requiring staff to actively participate in return demonstrations, the organization can confirm that employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to adhere to Standard Precautions effectively. Regarding the other options: - Reviewing and revising handwashing policies and procedures (Option B) can be helpful, but actual demonstration and application of skills through return demonstrations (Option A) are more effective in improving compliance. - Showing a videotape on Standard Precautions quarterly (Option C) may provide information, but it lacks the interactive and hands-on approach that a return demonstration offers. - Stocking personal protective equipment (PPE) in the clean utility room (Option D) is important for accessibility but doesn't directly address the behavioral aspects of compliance that a return demonstration can achieve.
