ESTHETICIAN STATE BOARD STUDY GUIDE WITH TESTED
SOLUTIONS
,✔✔Sanitation - ✔✔lowest level of infection control. Physical removal of debris,
REDUCES the number of microbes present Also removes organic debris such as blood,
and skin particles.
✔✔Disinfection - ✔✔2nd level of infection control - using products that kill or destroy
bacteria and a broad spectrum of viruses.
✔✔Disinfection products claim to kill/destroy bacteria therefore most of these products
are toxic and regulated by law through which government agency? - ✔✔EPA
Environmental Protection Agency
✔✔OSHA - ✔✔Occupational Safety and Health Administration - regulating agency
under the department of labor that enforces safety and health standards in the
workplace
✔✔MSDS - ✔✔Material Safety Data Sheets provides key information on a specific
product regarding ingredients associated hazards combustion levels and storage
requirements.
✔✔Antiseptic - ✔✔prevent growth of microorganisms on the skin
✔✔Sterilization - ✔✔eliminates ALL living organisms on non-porous surfaces including
bacterial spores that adhere to surgical implements in medical treatment rooms
✔✔Efficacy - ✔✔ability to produce results or effectiveness
✔✔EPA - ✔✔approves efficacy of products used for infection control
✔✔QUATS - ✔✔Quaternary Ammonium Germicidal Detergent Solution --- sold as
disinfectants are anti fungal, antibacterial, and antiviral but typically NOT sporicidal, or
tuberculocidal. Good for floors, walls/ Effective against hiv, and HBV
✔✔Sodium Hypochlorite - ✔✔Liquid chlorine disinfectant found in household bleach
✔✔Autoclave - ✔✔pressurized, steam heated vessel that sterilizes objects with high
pressure and heat preventing microorganisms from surviving
✔✔Chemiclave - ✔✔machine that sterilizes surgical implements with high-pressure high
temp. water alcohol and formaldehyde vapors
✔✔Enzyme Exfoliators are designed to ... - ✔✔dissolve dead skin cells can often tingle
or itch
, ✔✔Glycolics are designed to ... - ✔✔dissolve dead AND live cells and penetrate deeper
so they require more caution
✔✔Glycolic acid is derived from ... - ✔✔is a form of AHA that is derived from sugar
cane.
✔✔Smallest molecular structure of all AHAS? - ✔✔Glycolic Acid (can penetrate the skin
quickly) degree of effectiveness is dependent of ph level. the lower the pH the mroe
aggressive
✔✔First Degree Burn - ✔✔affects outer layer of skin (epidermis)
✔✔Second Degree Burn - ✔✔affect both epidermis, and underlying dermis
✔✔third degree burn - ✔✔destroys all layers of skin, and damage underlying tissue
including nerves
✔✔Anatomy - ✔✔study of organs and systems of the body
✔✔Physiology - ✔✔study of functions of these organs and systems
✔✔Gross Anatomy - ✔✔is the study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye.
✔✔Histology - ✔✔study of structures too small to be seen except through a microscope
✔✔What is a cell - ✔✔basic unit of life. Vary in shape, size, and function. 3 basic parts
nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane
✔✔Protoplasm - ✔✔colorless gel like substance that contain water, salt, and nutrients
obtained from food. ((make up cells))
✔✔Nucleus - ✔✔control center of a cell - controls cell reproduction, growth, and
metabolism
✔✔Cytoplasm - ✔✔production department - site of most chemical activities with in the
cell.
✔✔Organelles - ✔✔located within the cytoplasm - store nutrients and repair and restore
the cell
✔✔Cell Membrane - ✔✔Outer surface and enclosing structure of the cell
✔✔Cells make up ____ - ✔✔Tissues
