nexposure nto ninfectious ndiseases.
c. the namount nof nventilation nrequired nin na ntransfusion nservice.
d. how nmany nbiohazardous nwaste ncontainers na nlaboratory nmust nhave.
ANS: n B
OSHA ndefines nbiosafety nlevels nbased non npotential nexposure nto ninfectious nmaterial.
DIF: Level n1
2. A nlaboratory ntechnologist ndecided nshe nwould nlike nto nbring nher nlab ncoat nhome nfor nlaunde
nmany nwrinkles nwhen nit nwas nreturned nby nthe nlaboratory’s nlaundry nservice. nIs nthis npractic
a. Yes, nif nshe nuses n10% nbleach
b. Yes, nif nshe nclears nit nwith nher nsupervisor
c. Yes, nas nlong nas nshe nremoves nthe ncoat nand ndoes nnot nwear nit nhome
d. No, nbecause nthe nlaboratory nis na nbiosafety nlevel n2, nand nlab ncoats
nmay nnot nbe nremoved
ANS: n D
Methods nof ntransporting nthe nlab ncoat nand nthe nrisk nof ncontamination ndo nnot npermit nhealth
ncoats nhome nfor ncleaning.

Safety nglasses, nsplash nbarriers, nand nmasks nare ntypes nof npersonal nprotective ndevices.
DIF: Level n1
4. At nwhat npoint nin nthe nemployment nprocess nshould nsafety ntraining ntake nplace?
a. During norientation nand ntraining
b. Following nlab ntraining nwhen nemployees nare nmore nfamiliar
with ntheir nresponsibilities
n
c. Following nthe nemployees’ nfirst nevaluation
d. Before nindependent nwork nis npermitted nand nannually nthereafter
ANS: n D

nhelpful, nshe ncarefully nrecorded nthe nresults nshe nsaw nat na nlater ntime, nusing nthe ntechnologis
nan nacceptable nprocedure?
a. Yes; nall nresults nmust nbe nrecorded nregardless nof nwho ndid nthe ntest.
b. No; nshe nshould nhave nbrought nthe nerror nto nthe ntechnologist’s nattention.
