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

A

Infection

24
Q

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

A

Bloodborne Pathogens

25
Q

Infection in one small area of the body

A

Local infection

26
Q

Infections that occur through out the entire body

A

General infection

27
Q

The ability of the body to destroy infectious agents that enter the body

A

Immunity

28
Q

This results when exposure to disease organism trigger the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease

A

Active immunity

29
Q

This is provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system

A

Passive immunity

30
Q

This describes steps you take to prevent the spread of disease and kill certain or all microbes

A

Infection control

31
Q

The three main categories of infection control

A

Sanitation, disinfection and sterilization

32
Q

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

A

Sanitation

33
Q

These arrest or prevent the growth of micro-organisms on the skin

A

Antiseptics

34
Q

To destroy or kill bacteria and a broad spectrum of viruses on nonporous surfaces, such as implements

A

Disinfection

35
Q

Means to destroy or kill all microbes

A

Sterilization

36
Q

All disinfectants must inform the user On What the product is “effective in fighting against” on its

A

Efficacy label

37
Q

The regulating agency under the Department of Labor that enforces safety and health standards in the workplace

A

OSHA (The Occupational Safety & Health Administration)

38
Q

Key information on a specific product regarding ingredients, associated hazards, combustion levels, storage requirements is provided by:

A

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)

39
Q

Which agency approved the efficacy of disinfectants?

A

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)

40
Q

A person who carries a disease-producing bacteria with no recognizable symptoms of the first is an

A

Asymptomatic

41
Q

These disinfectants kill bacteria, viruses, fungi & pseudomonas

A

Broad spectrum disinfectants

42
Q

Most regulatory agencies have enacted this law to encourage people to help others in emergency situations

A

Good Samaritan law

43
Q

How long is it recommended to rinse eyes of chemicals should get into them?

A

15-30 mins with lukewarm water

44
Q

The study of small living organisms

i.e. Bacteria

A

Microbiology
