QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE
Inflammation
A condition in which the body reacts the injury, irritation or infection characterized by redness, heat,
pain and swelling
Ringworm
A fungal infection of the skin that appears in circular lesions
Infection control
The methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms from one individual to
another
Standard precautions
Are guidelines published by the CDC that require the employer and employee to assume that any human
blood and body fluids are potentially infectious
Virus
A parasitic submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in cells of biological organisms
Blood-borne pathogens
, Disease causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids such as hepatitis and HIV
Hepatitis
A blood-borne virus that causes disease and can damage the liver
Virucidal
Capable of destroying viruses
Mycobacterium
A large family of bacteria that is often found in soil and water
Sterilization
The process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores
Disinfection
A chemical process that uses specific products to destroy harmful organisms except bacterial spores on
environmental services
Tinea barbae
Also known as barbers itch a superficial fungal infection that commonly affects the skin it is primarily
limited to the bearded areas of the face and neck or around the scalp
Quaternary ammonium compounds
Commonly known as quats are products made of quaternary ammonium cations and are designed for
disinfection of non porous surfaces; they are appropriate for use in non critical non evasive
environments and are effective against most pathogens of concern in the salon, spa, or barbershop
environment
