Immune and Infectious Care Plans

Transmission based precautions, immunosuppression, and recognizing sepsis before the blood pressure falls.

12 plans in this system

Precaution type, immunosuppression, and early recognition of sepsis are the recurring decisions. Choosing the correct precaution at suspicion rather than at confirmation is the single most tested habit in this system.

CP-037Members only

Sepsis and Septic Shock

These items test sequence under a clock.

CP-038Members only

HIV with Immunosuppression

These items test adherence teaching and the muted response to infection.

CP-039Members only

Clostridioides difficile Infection

These items test hand hygiene and one prohibition.

CP-131Members only

Anaphylaxis and Acute Allergic Reaction

Nearly every item tests drug order, and the trap is selecting diphenhydramine.

CP-132Members only

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Priority items pit a facial rash against a renal or infectious finding, and the rash always loses.

CP-133Members only

Multidrug Resistant Organism and Isolation Precautions

Expect a matching item pairing an organism to a precaution category, so learn the routes rather than the names.

CP-134Members only

Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection

Bundle items dominate and the hub disinfection answer is asked repeatedly.

CP-135Members only

Transplant Immunosuppression and Rejection

The adherence item is the most common and the answer is always that therapy continues regardless of how well the patient feels.

CP-136Members only

Herpes Zoster

Precaution items ask when isolation ends, and the answer is when lesions crust rather than a set number of days.

CP-137Members only

Influenza and Seasonal Viral Respiratory Illness

Timing items are the most common, so establish when symptoms began.

CP-138Members only

Immunization and Post Exposure Prophylaxis

Almost every item reduces to live or inactivated, so learn which are live.

CP-139Members only

Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure and Standard Precautions

The first action after a needlestick is washing the site, and the second is reporting, in that order.
