Chapter 5 Flashcards
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
AKA aids/breaks down the bodyโs immune system/caused by HIV.
Antiseptics
Chemical germicides formulated for use on skin/registered and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration
Asymptomatic
Showing no symptoms or signs of infection(s)
BACTERIA
Single-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics/some bacteria are harmful and some are harmless.
Bacterial Spores
Bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that allows them to with stand very harsh environments/ sheds the coating when conditions become more favorable to them
Bactericidal
Capable of destroying bacteria
Biofilms
Colonies of microorganisms that adhere to environmental surfaces, as well as the human body.
Bloodborne pathogens
Disease causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids such as hepatitis and hiv
Chelating soaps
Break down stubborn films and remove the residue of products such as scrubs,salts,and masks; aka chelating detergents
Cleaning
A mechanical process using soap and water or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt,debris, and many disease-causing germs
Communicable
Able to be communicated/transferable by contact from one person to another as in a COMMUNICABLE disease
Contagious disease
Aka communicable disease/disease that is capable of being spread from one person to another
Contamination
The presence, or the reasonably anticipated presence, of blood of other potentially infectious materials on an items surface, or viable debris or residues such as dust,hair,and skin
Diagnosis
Determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms and/Or diagnostic test/federal regulations prohibit salon professionals from performing a diagnosis
Direct transmission
Transmission of pathogens through touching (including shaking hands), kissing,coughing,sneezing,and talking
Disease
An abnormal condition of all or part of the body, or is sirens or organs/that makes the body incapable of carrying on normal function
Disinfectant
Chemical products approved by the EPA designed to destroy most bacteria (excluding spores), fungi, and viruses on surfaces
Disinfection
A chemical process that uses specific products to destroy harmful organisms (except bacterial spores) on environmental surfaces
Efficacy
The ability of a product to produce the intended effect; on a disinfectant label/indicates specific pathogens destroyed or disabled when used properly
Exposure incident
Contact with broken skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials, which is the result of the performance of an employeeโs duties
Fungi
Single called organisms that grow in irregular masses and include molds,mildews, and yeasts/ they can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm
Fungicidal
Capable of destroying molds and fungi
Hepatitis
A Bloodborne virus that causes disease and can damage the liver
Herpes simplex virus
An inflammation disease of the skin/characterized by small vesicles in clusters
Human immunodeficiency virus
Aka HIV/ virus that causes HIV and acquired immune deficiency (AIDS)
Human Papilloma Virus
Abbreviatied HPV/can infect the bottom of the foot/resembles small black dots/contracted through sexual transmission and by genital warts
Indirect transmission
Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated obj such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an environmental surface
Infection
The invasion of body tissues by disease causing pathogens
Infection control
The methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms from one individual to another
Infectious
Caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection
Infectious disease
Disease caused by pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms that enter the body/an infectious disease may or may not be spread from one person to another
Inflammation
Condition in which the body reacts to injury irritation or infection characterized by redness,heat,pain,and swelling
