Jeopardy Questions Flashcards
Of these 3 points in time: during use, after use but before disposal or after disposal. Which is the moment when hollow needle stick injuries occurs most?
During Use
This is the most prevalent viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes
Dengue
This form of Leptospirosis presents symptoms such as jaundice, renal failure, hemorrhage, myocarditis with arrhythmias.
Weil’s Syndrome
This foodborne disease is highly contagious. Its symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dark urine, clay colored stools and jaundice.
Hepatitis A
PH and moisture content are examples of this type of factor which affects growth of microorganisms in food products.
Intrinsic factor
In Belize’s healthcare facilities, red garbage bags are used for disposal of this type of material.
Infectious waste
This Gram positive bacteria which causes a food borne illness can be isolated in soil, wood, decaying matter in the natural environment.
Listeria monocytogenes
Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
This naturally occurring mineral, which is used as an insulation material and is a fire retardant, can become permanently trapped in the body and cause irreversible damage.
Asbestos
Human tissues, body parts and animal carcasses are classified as this type of waste.
Pathological waste
This type of effect occurs when radiation interacts with the water that makes up most of the cell’s volume.
Indirect effect
These are the 2 groups of cells that are least sensitive to the effects of radiation.
Muscle cells and Nerve cells
This form of one of the vector-borne diseases we studied, is a fatal complication, due to plasma leaking, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding, or organ impairment.
Severe Dengue or Dengue with warning signs
This is the reason why lymphocytes (white blood cells) and cells which produce blood are the most sensitive to the effects of radiation.
They are constantly regenerating and dividing cells require correct DNA information in order for the cell’s offspring to survive.
This category of Xenobiotics includes: Hallucinogenic, stimulating and inhibitor compounds.
Illicit drugs
Commonly transmitted blood borne pathogens in needle stick injuries.
Hepatitis B Virus
About 85% of medical waste is classified as this.
Non-Hazardous Waste
The treatment of this acute condition includes gastric lavage and the use of activated charcoal and atropine.
Acute Pesticide Intoxication
Vector-borne disease that can result in kidney failure is also an occupational hazard for those that work outdoors or with animals/
Leptospirosis
This type of asbestos is called brown asbestos and is used in cement sheets, ceiling tiles and insulators.
Amosite
This type of transmission in vector borne illnesses involves the multiplication and growth of a disease- causing agent inside vector’s body.
Biological Transmission
This refers to processes by which a compound increases its concentration in tissues of organisms as it travels up food chain.
Biomagnification
Bacterium produces 2 strains and 1 similar to cholera toxin that causes watery diarrhea. Subtype is most common cause of traveler’s cholera in people visiting low and middle income countries.
Enterotoxigenic E.coli
Exposure to this amount of rads or more is usually fatal
1000 rads
U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the WHO recommend maintaining environmental noises below this level over 24hrs, in order to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
70 decibels
