Q

Bacterial growth cycle where bacteria reproduced and grows rapidly:

A

Active stage

  • takes place in dark, damp or dirty areas where a food source is available
  • mitosis occurs
  • as many as 16 million offspring can be developed in 12 hours

Q

Infection control is divided into three categories:

A

Sterilization, disinfection and sanitation

19
Q

Sub-microscopic particles (much smaller than bacteria) that cause familiar diseases:

A

Viruses

like the common cold, which is caused by a filterable virus

20
Q

A highly infectious disease that infects the liver

A

HBV - Human Hepatitis B

21
Q

A disease caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

A

AIDS - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

22
Q

Organisms that live on or obtain their nutrients from another organism called a host

A

External Parasites

23
Q

This occurs when disease-causing (pathogenic) bacteria or viruses enter the body and multiply to the point of interfering with the body’s normal state

24
Q

Disease-causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the blood or body fluids

A

Bloodborne Pathogens

25
Infection in one small area of the body
Local infection
26
Infections that occur through out the entire body
General infection
27
The ability of the body to destroy infectious agents that enter the body
Immunity
28
This results when exposure to disease organism trigger the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease
Active immunity
29
This is provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system
Passive immunity
30
This describes steps you take to prevent the spread of disease and kill certain or all microbes
Infection control
31
The three main categories of infection control
Sanitation, disinfection and sterilization
32
This means to remove dirt and debris to aid in preventing the growth of microbes; cleans and reduces microbes on the surface but do not kill microbes
Sanitation
33
These arrest or prevent the growth of micro-organisms on the skin
Antiseptics
34
To destroy or kill bacteria and a broad spectrum of viruses on nonporous surfaces, such as implements
Disinfection
35
Means to destroy or kill all microbes
Sterilization
36
All disinfectants must inform the user On What the product is "effective in fighting against" on its
Efficacy label
37
The regulating agency under the Department of Labor that enforces safety and health standards in the workplace
OSHA (The Occupational Safety & Health Administration)
38
Key information on a specific product regarding ingredients, associated hazards, combustion levels, storage requirements is provided by:
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)
39
Which agency approved the efficacy of disinfectants?
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
40
A person who carries a disease-producing bacteria with no recognizable symptoms of the first is an
Asymptomatic
41
These disinfectants kill bacteria, viruses, fungi & pseudomonas
Broad spectrum disinfectants
42
Most regulatory agencies have enacted this law to encourage people to help others in emergency situations
Good Samaritan law
43
How long is it recommended to rinse eyes of chemicals should get into them?
15-30 mins with lukewarm water
44
The study of small living organisms | i.e. Bacteria
Microbiology
