68W LPC - Test #1 Study Guide Questions with
Complete Correct Verified Solutions
chain of infection - correct answer -infectious agent, reservoir, portal of
exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, susceptible host
Vehicle to Transmissions (8) - correct answer -Direct Contact; Indirect
Contact; Human Carrier; Airborne; Water Borne; Food-Born; Vectors; Blood-
Born
Single most useful and effective means of breaking chain of infection -
correct answer -Hand washing
What is the most frequent mode of disease transmission? - correct answer -
direct contact
Normal Cause of Infection - correct answer -Phase 1: Incubation period
Phase 2: prodromal stage
Phase 3: full stage of illness
Final Phase (4): convalescent stage
Spores - correct answer -Protect certain bacteria and become resistant to the
environment and can cursive extreme conditions of light, dying and many
chemicals. Spore forming bacteria are most difficult to control and destroy
Pathogenic Bacteria - correct answer -Neisseria causes gonorrhea, upper
respiratory infections and infectious meningitis.
Droplet Diseases - correct answer -Meningitis, Pneumonia, Diphtheria,
Streptococcal Pharyngitis, Influenza, Mumps, and Rubella
contact precautions - correct answer -Diseases include drug-resistant
gastrointestinal, respiratory, skin and wound infections, hepatitis A, herpes
simplex virus, and acute diarrhea
, Response to infection - correct answer -Incubation - When the Pathogen
Enters the Body
Prodromal Stage - onset of initial symptoms
Full Stage of Illness - symptoms are acute and specific to the type of
infection
Convalescent Stage - acute symptoms subside
nosocomial infection - correct answer -a disease acquired in a hospital or
clinical setting
Potential reservoirs for pathogenic growth in clinical setting - correct
answer -IV Fluids
Foods
Biological Materials
Equipment
host resistance - correct answer -Naturally occurring body floras have an
antibiotic relationship with pathogens and contribute to an individual's
health
side effects - correct answer -Negative effects or actions other than the
desired actions
Contraindications - correct answer -Situations where you would NOT
administer the medication because it may do more harm than good
Therapeutic Effects - correct answer -Expected positive effect of a drug
What factors increase a pathogen's virulence? - correct answer -- Ability to
produce enzymes that destroy blood cells
- Ability to produce enzymes that stop normal blood clotting
- Ability to produce enzymes that consume muscle fibers
- Ability to form protective capsules
What microorganism needs a host to make protein and energy? - correct
answer -Virus
