Question | Answer |
---|---|
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are obtained from | the product manufacturer |
Regulatory agencies and governmental health departments require businesses that serve the public to | follow prescribed sanitary precautions |
Bacteria are very small and can only be seen with the aid of | a microscope |
One-celled microorganisms with both plant and animal characteristics are | bacteria |
In the human body, nonpathogenic bacteria help metabolize food, protect against infectious microorganisms, and | stimulate the immune response |
bacteria can exist | almost anywhere |
A small minority of bacteria that cause disease when invading plant or animal tissue are | pathogenic |
A type of pathogenic bacteria that require living matter for growth are | parasites |
Pus forming bacteria arranged in curved lines that resemble a string of beads are | streptococci |
Cocci are pathogenic bacteria that are | round-shaped |
Bacteria that may cause strep throat or blood poising are | streptococci |
Bacteria that grow in pairs and can cause pneumonia are | diplococci |
Lyme disease, syphilis, or sexually transmitted diseases are caused by spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria called | spirilla |
In humans, pathogenic bacteria are known to produce | diseases |
bacteria that are transmitted through the air and rarely show active motility are | cocci |
Bacilli and spirilla bacteria are both motile and use slender hairlike extensions known as | flagella |
Harmless bacteria are what type of bacteria | nonpathogenic bacteria |
In 2000, a bacteria called Mycobacterium fortuitum furunculosis caused a client outbreak due to the failure of the practitioner to follow proper disinfection guidelines for | Whirlpool foot spas |
Bacteria generally consist of an outer wall containing a liquid called | protoplasm |
The life cycle of bacteria has two distinct phases, the active stage and: | The inactive or spore-forming stage |
The process whereby bacteria grow, reproduce, and divide into two new cells is: | mitosis |
Bacteria that pose little or no risk to a client in the salon setting but are dangerous in the medical setting are: | anthrax and tetanus bacilli |
The presence of pus is a sign of a | bacterial infection |
When body tissues are invaded by pathogenic bacteria, it is a sign of an | infection |
Common human bacteria transferred through skin to skin contact or by using unclean implements are | contagious |
An infection, indicated by a lesion containing pus confined to a particular part of the body is a | local infection |
When a disease spreads from one person to another by contact, it is | contagious |
A submicroscopic structure capable of infecting plants and animals including bacteria is a | virus |
A virus can live and reproduce only by | penetrating other cells and becoming part of them |
Hepatitis A, a blood-borne virus, is marked by an inflammation of the | liver |
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the virus that causes | AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome |
An organism that lives on another living organism and draws its nourishment from that organism is a | parasite |
If nail implements have not been disinfected properly, the client may contract | nail fungus |
Disease-causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the body in the blood or by body fluids are | bloodborne pathogens |
Transmission of bloodborne pathogens can become possible through shaving, nipping, facial treatments, waxing, tweezing, or | anytime the skin barrier is broken |
A skin disease caused by an infestation of head lice is | pediculosis |
The ability of the body to destroy pathogenic bacteria or viruses that have entered the body is | immunity |
The type of immunity the body develops after overcoming a disease or through vaccinations is | acquired immunity |
The surfaces of tools or objects not completely free from dirt, oils, and microbes are covered | contaminants |
The process of removing pathogens and other substances from tools and surfaces is | decontamination |
The three main types of decontamination are | sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization |
Decontamination is a process that involves the use of | physical of chemical means to remove or destroy pathogens |
Estheticians who use needles and probes that lance the skin must use a level of decontamination called | sterilization |
In the salon setting, disinfection is extremely effective in controlling | microorganisms on non-living surfaces |
A higher level of decontamination than sanitation is | disinfection |
An exception to the level of protection that disinfection provides and the possibility of an infection could be present if | the clients skin is broken |
A chemical agent that is used to destroy bacteria and viruses on surfaces is | disinfectant |
Disinfectants must have a registration number and be approved by the | Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) |
A Manufacturer must supply pertinent safety and storage information by providing | Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) |
The agency that enforces safety an health standards in the workplace is | OSHA |
A disinfectant that meets regulatory agency requirements for destroying bacteria, fungi, and viruses is | bacterial, fungicidal, and virucidal |
A disinfectant used in salons should be appropriate and have the correct | efficacy |
A salon implement that accidentally comes in contact with blood or body fluids should be cleaned and | completely immersed in an EPA-registered disinfectant |
Any item that cannot be disinfected after use on a client must be | discarded |
Common, very safe, and useful types of disinfectant that contain sophisticated blends that work to disinfect implements in 10 to 15 minute are | Quaternary ammonium compounds |
Disinfectant with a high pH that can cause skin irritation or burn the skin or eyes are | phenolic disinfectants |
To be effective in the disinfection of implements, ethyl alcohol must be no less than | 70 percent |
A common household product used effectively as disinfectant is | sodium hypochlorite |
When mixing a disinfectant solution, add disinfectant to water and | mix according to the manufacturers exact directions |
To avoid contaminating implements, remove from a disinfectant solution using | tongs, basket, or gloves |
Store a clean, disinfected implement in | a clean dry container |
How often must an individual towels and lines be set aside to be laundered | after use on a client |
The contact points of equipment that cannot be immersed in liquid solutions should be cleaned and disinfected using a | regulatory oversight agency approved disinfectant |
At the end of the day, the disinfectant procedure for a foot spa should include removing and cleaning the screen, washing the screen and inlet with soap and water, and totally immersing the screen in an approved disinfectant according to | manufacturer's directions and flushing the system with low sudsing soap & warm water for 10 min, rinsing, draining, and letting air dry |
Every week, foot spas should be cleaned following the daily procedure and filled with | a disinfectant solution and left at least 6 to 10 hours, then drained and flushed |
Any disposable material used in cleaning blood spills should be | placed in double bags before disposing or placed in a container for contaminated waste |
The first step in the decontamination process is called | sanitation |
When using liquid soap, scrub your hands and lather for at least | 20 seconds |
The use of bar soap is prohibited in most salons because bar soaps | grow bacteria |
A danger of using anti-bacterial soaps is | they promote growth of resistant strains |
Antiseptics are effective for | sanitizing the hands |
