Hugiene And Sanitation Flashcards
One-celled living organisms, found in every environment on Earth, that can live independently of a host.
Bacteria
The transfer of a disease from one carrier to anoth
Disease transmission
HIV is called AIDS when
the CD4 cells (also known at T cells) are fewer than 200.
Inflammation of the liver; transmitted through contaminated food or water or by contact with feces. Usually clears up in a few weeks without medical intervention
Hepatitis A
Inflammation of the liver; transmitted through contaminated food or water or by contact with feces. Usually clears up in a few weeks without medical intervention
Hepatitis A
Transmission of a pathogen through air, food, or liquid taken into the body
Vehicle transmission
Transmission of a pathogen via an insect or animal capable of transmitting disease.
Vector transmission
Inflammation of the liver; some carriers recover fully, while some develop a chronic form and become carriers of the diseas
Hepatitis B
Subjective abnormal physical manifestations that are reported by the patient/client.
Symptoms
Subjective abnormal physical manifestations that are reported by the patient/client.
Symptoms
Inflammation of the liver; transmitted primarily through contact with infected blood; the most serious and deadly form of hepatitis.
Hepatitis C
Symptoms that occur in the 4–8 weeks following an injury; when the body is recovering but not yet at 100% strength or capability.
Subacute
Parasitic animals that suck the blood of the host and cause intense itching.
Lice
Parasitic animals that burrow under the skin and live off the blood of the host
Mites
Any producer of disease, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Pathogen
An acidic compound used as a disinfectant on hard surfaces; effective against a variety of pathogens.
Phenols
Single-celled organisms regarded as the simplest form of life.
Protozoa
Quaternary ammonium compounds are used on hard surfaces to kill a variety of pathogens.
Quats
Objective physical manifestations that are instantly observable by the naked eye.
Signs
Practitioners who perspire heavily while giving massage should:
Wear sweatbands on the forehead and wrist to prevent droplets of sweat from getting on the client
Mites thrive in:
Warm, moist areas of the body and skin folds
Mites are spread through
Direct contact with infected linens
Antiseptics are Appropriate for use in a massage setting when
no blood or body fluid is present
In disease transmission, vector transmission means:
A pathogen is transferred via an insect or animal
A spa client tripped over an electrical cord that ran from the massage table to the wall outlet and rolled her ankle in the fall. What action should the spa take to prevent this type of general liability claim in the future?
Tape the cord completely to the floor with an adhesive, such as duct tape
If the bolster is wrapped in a pillowcase and placed directly under the client’s legs during a session:
The pillowcase on the bolster should be changed between clients
Cleansers that are safe for use on skin; they are weaker than disinfectants, however, and do not kill all pathogens.
Antiseptic
