Hair Cutting Flashcards
- Infection:
the invasion of body tissues by disease-causing bacteria (pathogenic bacteria) or viruses
- Virus:
a submicroscopic parasitic particle that causes disease
- Immunity:
the body’s ability to fight or defend against infection and disease
- Contamination:
the presence of unclean materials or tools left on a surface
- Decontamination: the removal of any infectious materials on tools or surfaces by following all sanitation and disinfection
Decontamination Method 1 (Disinfecting): clean tools with warm
soups water: be sure to remove visible debris. Next. submerge
tools in an EPA-registered disinfectant. Always follow manufacturer’s directions for proper contact time and mixing ratios. Contact
time is the amount of time the disinfectant must stay moist on a surface in order for it to be effective
in a high-pressure steam unit. called an autoclave.
Decontamination Method 2 (Sterilization): clean tools with warm. soapy water; be sure to remove visible debris. Nevt. place tools
Sterilization will destroy all microbial life. including spores
-Allergy: an immune response or reaction to substances that are usually not harmful
— Exposure Incident: when you come in contact with broken skin
body fluid
work
to assume that all human blood and body fluids are bloodborne pathogens
Standard Precautions: a set of guidelines published by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that require an employer and employee
Ergonomics: the applied science concerned with designing and arranging things that people use so both (people and things) interact
most efficiently and safely
Contagious / Communicable: means that infections or diseases can be transferred from one person to another by contact
- Disease: bacterial invasion of the body that disrupts a normal function of health
Disorder: any abnormality of bodily function; services can be performed with special product recommendations
Bacteria: one cell microorganisms
- Non-Pathogenic: bacteria that are not harmful
~ Pathogenie: bacteria that are harmful and cause disease
- Bloodborne Pathogens: infectious pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood or bodily fluids and can cause
disease in humans: these pathogens include
but are not limited to. hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)
