QUESTION SET AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
●● acquired immunity
Answer: 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
Answer: Chemical germicides formulated for use on skin; registered and
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
●● asymptomatic
Answer: Showing no symptoms or signs of infection.
●● autoclave
Answer: A device for sterilization by steam under pressure.
●● bacilli
Answer: Short rod-shaped bacteria. They are the most common bacteria
and produce diseases such as tetanus (lockjaw), typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
,●● bacteria
Answer: One-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal
characteristics. Some are harmful; some are harmless.
●● bactericidal
Answer: Capable of destroying bacteria
●● binary fission
Answer: The division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter
cells.
●● bioburden
Answer: 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
Answer: Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body by blood
or body fluids, such as hepatitis and HIV.
●● body substance isolation (BSI) precautions
,Answer: 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
Answer: AKA chelating detergents; detergents that breakdown stubborn
films and remove the residue of products such as scrubs, salts, and
masks.
●● clean
Answer: 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
Answer: Round-shaped bacteria that appear singly (alone) or in groups.
The three types of cocci are staphylococci, streptococci, and diplococci.
●● contagious disease
Answer: AKA communicable disease; a disease that is spread from one
person to another person.
●● contamination
, Answer: 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
Answer: 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
Answer: 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
Answer: A type of fungi that causes skin, hair, and nail infections.
●● diagnosis
Answer: Determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms
and/or diagnostic tests. Federal regulations prohibit salon professionals
from performing a diagnosis.
●● diplococci
