Infection Control Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
Microorganisms - ✔✔Any tiny, usually microscopic, entity capable of carrying on
living processes.
Why patient is at greater risk for infection entering a health care facility? - ✔✔Lowered
resistance, increased exposure to numbers and types of disease-causing organisms, or
the need for an invasive procedure.
Infection Prevention and Control - ✔✔Implementation of policies and procedures in
hospitals and other health care facilities to minimize the spread of health care-
associated or community-acquired infections to patients and other staff members.
Asepsis - ✔✔Absence of pathogenic microorganisms.
Medical Asepsis(Clean Technique) - ✔✔Techniques that inhibit the growth and spread
of pathogenic microorganisms.

, Surgical Asepsis(Sterile Technique) - ✔✔Destroys all microorganisms and their spores.
Used in specialized areas or skills, such as care of surgical wounds, urinary catheter
insertion, invasive procedures, and surgery.
The Chain of Infection - ✔✔1. Pathogen (Infectious Agent) 2. Reservoir (Where
Pathogen can grow) 3. Exit route (From Reservoir) 4. Method of Transportation
(Exudate, feces, air droplets, hands and needles) 5. Entrance (Skin, mucous lining or
mouth) 6. Host (Another person or animal) These are necessary for infection to occur.
Disinfection - ✔✔Use of a chemical that can be applied to objects to destroy
microorganisms. Does not destroy spores.
Antiseptic - ✔✔Substance that tends to inhibit the growth and reproduction of
microorganisms.
Aerobic - ✔✔Bacteria that grow only in the presence of oxygen.
Anaerobic - ✔✔Bacteria that grow only in the absence of oxygen.
Spore - ✔✔Round body formed by the bacterium. Remains dormant until
environmental conditions become favorable for growth. The the spore germinates and
begins reproducing. Characteristically have a high degree of resistance to heat and
disinfectants.
