MILADY ESTHETICS BUNDLED FINAL
EXAMINATION PAPER 2026 COMPLETE
Q&A GRADED A+
⫸ acquired immunity - Immunity that the body develops after
overcoming a disease, through inoculation (such as flu vaccinations), or
through exposure to natural allergens, such as pollen, cat dander, and
ragweed.
⫸ antiseptics - Chemical germicides formulated for use on skin;
registered and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
⫸ asymptomatic - Showing no symptoms or signs of infection.
⫸ autoclave - A device for sterilization by steam under pressure.
⫸ bacilli - Short rod-shaped bacteria. They are the most common
bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
⫸ bacteria - One-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal
characteristics. Some are harmful; some are harmless.
⫸ bactericidal - Capable of destroying bacteria
,⫸ binary fission - The division of bacteria cells into two new cells
called daughter cells.
⫸ bioburden - The number of viable organisms in or on an object or
surface or the organic material on a surface or object before
decontamination or sterilization.
⫸ bloodborne pathogens - Disease-causing microorganisms carried in
the body by blood or body fluids, such as hepatitis and HIV.
⫸ body substance isolation (BSI) precautions - A system of precautions
developed by a Seattle hospital in 1987 to prevent contact with bodily
substances and fluids by using protective apparel to prevent the spread
of contamination.
⫸ chelating soaps - AKA chelating detergents; detergents that
breakdown stubborn films and remove the residue of products such as
scrubs, salts, and masks.
⫸ clean - A mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and warm water
or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt, debris, and many other
disease-causing germs. Cleaning also removes invisible debris that
interferes with disinfection.
, ⫸ cocci - Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly (alone) or in groups.
The three types of cocci are staphylococci, streptococci, and diplococci.
⫸ contagious disease - AKA communicable disease; a disease that is
spread from one person to another person.
⫸ contamination - The presence, or the reasonably anticipated presence,
of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an item's surface or
visible debris or residues such as dust, hair, and skin.
⫸ cross-contamination - Contamination that occurs when you touch one
object and then transfer the contents of that object to another, such as
touching skin, then touching a product without washing your hands.
⫸ decontamination - The removal of blood or other potentially
infectious materials on an item's surface and the removal of visible
debris or residue such as dust, hair, and skin.
⫸ dermatophytes - A type of fungi that causes skin, hair, and nail
infections.
⫸ diagnosis - Determination of the nature of a disease from its
symptoms and/or diagnostic tests. Federal regulations prohibit salon
professionals from performing a diagnosis.
