Cosmetology: Chapter 5, Infection Control; Principles
And Practices (Q’s And A’s)
A disease that breaks down the body's immune system. AIDS is caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Right Ans - Acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (aids)
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. Right Ans - Acquired immunity
Reaction due to extreme sensitivity to certain foods, chemicals, or other
normally harmless substances. Right Ans - Allergy
Chemical germicide formulated for use on skin; registered and regulated by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Right Ans - Antiseptics
Showing no symptoms or signs of infection. Right Ans - Asymptomatic
Singular; Bacillus. Short, rod-shaped bacteria. They are the most common
bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, and diphtheria. Right Ans - Bacilli
One-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics.
Some are harmful; some are harmless. Right Ans - Bacteria
Bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that allows them to
withstand very harsh environments, and shed the coating when conditions
become more favorable. Right Ans - Bacterial spores
Capable of destroying bacteria. Right Ans - Bactericidal
The division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter cells. Right
Ans - Binary Fission
Colonies of bacteria that adhere together and adhere to environmental
surfaces. Right Ans - Biofilms
, Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood to body fluids,
such as Hepatitis and HIV. Right Ans - Blood borne pathogens
Also known as chelating detergents; they break down stubborn films and
remove the residue of pedicure products such as scrubs, salts, and masks.
Right Ans - Chelating soaps
A mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent and
water to remove all visible dirt, debris, and many disease-causing germs.
Cleaning also removes invisible debris that interfere with disinfection.
Cleaning is what cosmetologists are required to do before disinfecting.
Right Ans - Clean (cleaning)
Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly (alone) or in groups. The three
types of cocci are staphylococci, streptococci, and diplococci. Right Ans -
Cocci
Also known as communicable disease; disease that is spread from one person
to another person. Some of the more contagious diseases are the common
cold, ringworm, conjucttivitis (pink eye), viral infections, and natural nail or
toe and foot infections. Right Ans - Contagious disease
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. Right Ans - Contamination
The removal of blood and all other potentially infectious materials on an
item's surface, and the removal of visible debris or residue such as dust, hair,
and skin. Right Ans - Decontamination
Determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms and/or diagnostic
tests. Federal regulations prohibit salon professionals from performing
diagnosis. Right Ans - Diagnosis
Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs and cause diseases such as pneumonia.
Right Ans - Diplococci
