infection
Autoclave Correct Answer - Piece of equipment used to sterilize articles
by way of steam under pressure and/or dry heat for heat resistant
instruments
Bacteria Correct Answer - microscopic, single-celled organisms that are
not detectable with the naked eye. Capable of causing infection through
abraded skin
Bacterial spores Correct Answer - Small oval shaped. Can only be
destroyed by sterilization. Feeds bacteria. Able to survive in harsh conditions
by evolving.
Blood borne infection Correct Answer - Caused by pathogens found in an
infected persons blood such as Hep B/C and HIV
body fluids Correct Answer - blood, pus, liquid from sores, urine, stool,
tears, spit, droplets from sneezes and coughs, and sputum
cleaning Correct Answer - A mechanical process using soap and water or
