        Help!  

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  
🗑
