✔✔Biological Indicator - ✔✔What is a device that contains highly resistant bacterial
spores and is used to test the method of sterilization being monitored?
✔✔Aseptic Technique - ✔✔What is a term used to describe the precautionary measure
taken to help reduce the risk of post treatment infections by decreasing the
opportunities of microorganisms to enter the body?
✔✔I, II, III (To consider all clients as potential infectious, To adhere to infection control
precautions for minimizing the risk of exposure to blood of body fluids for all clients, To
reduce the risk of transmission of infection from client, practitioner, and client to
practitioner) - ✔✔What is the purpose of the STANDARDS that have been developed
for use by electrologists & electrology instructors?
✔✔Biological Indicator - ✔✔What type of indicator need to be placed in the sterilization
device every month?

circuit between the epilation and the indifferent electrode considered critical or non-
critical?
✔✔All of the above (Single-use, Pre-sterilized, Disposable) - ✔✔All needles in
electrolysis should be:
✔✔True - ✔✔Residual moisture on hands after hand washing has been found to play
important role in the transfer of bacteria & viruses, so a longer duration of hand drying
will result in fewer bacteria transferring to other surfaces.
✔✔All of the above (Glass bead sterilizer, Carbon Rollers, Household Bleach) -
✔✔What are items according to the infection control standards for the practice of
electrology that should NOT be used?
