| what 3 basic factors determine whether an infectious disease will develop | virulence (pathogenic properties), dose (number of microorganisms), resistance (body defense mechanism) |
| health or disease = | virulence x dose --------------------- body resistance |
| what is the minimum infectious prevention practices that apply to all patient care regardless of the infectious status of the patient or the body fluid involved | standard precautions |
| with patients that have highly infectious diseases, instead of standard precautions, you should use | transmission-based precautions |
| what requires that the employer has the responsibility to protect employees from exposure to various things | bloodborne pathogens standard (most important infection control law in dentistry) |

| what is the concept that ALL body fluids are infected | standard precautions |
| which governmental agency controls the safety and effectiveness of sterilizers | US food and drug administration FDA |

| which governmental agency controls the safety and effectiveness of surface disinfectants | environmental protection agency EPA |
| not doing a good job cleaning or sterilizing reusable hand instruments contributes to which pathway of cross contamination in the office | patient to patient |
| improving the quality of dental unit water addresses which pathway of cross contamination in the office | community to office |
| the goal of dental infection control is to | reduce the dose of microorganisms that may be shared between individuals |
| which of the following is the infection control education organization in dentistry | organization for safety, asepsis, and prevention OSAP |
| which of the following infection control procedures is not covered by the bloodborne pathogens standard | cleaning and sterilizing reusable hand instruments between patients |
| according to the bloodborne pathogen standard, who pays for employee training and hep b immunization | employer |
| the CDC guidelines for infection control in dentistry: | cover more topics than the bloodborne pathogens standard |
| What pathway for cross-contamination is the most difficult to control | patient to dental team |
| The manufacturing of medical devices like sterilizers is regulated by what U.S. agency | FDA |
| What infection control procedure is not mentioned in the bloodborne pathogens standard | sterilizing instruments before they are reused on another patient |
| What is required by the postexposure evaluation part of the bloodborne pathogens standard | That employees exposed to a patient’s blood or saliva be evaluated for their bloodborne disease status. |
| Which U.S. government agency helps assure the safety and effectiveness of surface disinfectants | EPA |
| What governmental agency sets the standard for drinking water | EPA |
| What is a part of the CDC infection control recommendations for dental facilities rather than OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard | sterilizing all instruments before they are reused |
| If you are working in a private dental office and your employer says that you must buy your own gloves, where is the best place to go to complain | OSHA |
| the seven sections of the bloodborne pathogens standard are: written exposure control plan; exposure prevention methods; hepatitis B vaccinations; postexposure medical evaluation; hazard communication; training; and | record keeping |
| What is a not-for-profit nongovernmental organization involved with infection control in dentistry | OSAP |
| according to the CDC extracted teeth that do not contain amalgam and will be used by schools for educational purposes need to be | heat sterilized |
| When does the required OSHA training on bloodborne pathogens have to be given to employees who have a potential for exposure to human body fluids | when an employee is initially hired and at least annually thereafter |
| According to OSHA, employers of healthcare workers must offer their employees the hepatitis B vaccination series; (1) free of charge, (2) within 10 days of their employment, and (3) after they have | received the required training on bloodborne pathogens. |
| What will reduce the chances for cross-contamination from patient to dental team | preprocedure mouthrinse |
| The difference between universal precautions and standard precautions is that universal precautions relate only to | blood and body fluids containing blood. |
| The correct name for the dental infection control guidelines issued by the CDC is | recommendations |
| When during a patient visit to the dental office should respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette begin | immediately when they enter the office |
| What part of an infection control program is occurring when a patient enters a dental office and sees a sign stating: “Please cover your mouth/nose when coughing or sneezing” | respiratory hygiene |
| Establishing procedures for post-exposure management relates to what principle of infection control | take action to stay healthy |
| Use a preprocedure mouthrinse, rubber dam, and HVE best relates to what two infection control principles | take action to stay healthy and limit the spread of contaminants. |
| What procedures related best to the infection control principle of making objects safe for use | spore-testing sterilizer loads |
