This free nursing practice test includes 15 questions related to basic infection control information, including common medical terms, the chain of infection, and ways to prevent the spread of microorganisms, including those that are multidrug-resistant organisms. The information is current at the present time for nurses and nursing assistants in North Carolina, but information may be correct in other areas and careers as well.
