Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) -CORRECTANSWER The last stage of
infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which most often results
in severe damage to the body's immunse system
Applicator -CORRECTANSWER A term referring to either single-use and reusable
spatula or similar devices
Antiseptic -CORRECTANSWER A chemical agent that destroys or inhibits
microorganisms on skin or tissue and has an effect of limiting optimally preventing
infection
Autoclave -CORRECTANSWER Equipment used for the sterilization of heat resistant
instruments
Bacteria -CORRECTANSWER Microscopic organisms that are too small to be visible to
the naked eye. They are capable of causing infection when a person is exposed to them
under certain circumstances, such as through abraded skin (eg. staphylococci,
streptococci)
,Bacterial Spores -CORRECTANSWER Some microorganisms are able to survive in
very harsh conditions by enveloping themselves with this thick wall. They make bacteria
highly resistant to killing. If they are introduced to the body where conditions become
more favorable—when there's more water or more food available—the bacteria "come
to life" again, transforming from a spore back to a vegetative cell that can cause serious
infection. They can be destroyed by sterilization only
Blood borne infections -CORRECTANSWER Infections caused by viruses found in the
blood such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Body Fluids -CORRECTANSWER Fluids normally present in the body such as blood,
mucous, sweat, oil, saliva, urine, ooze from a festering sore, or tears. They may contain
infectious organisms.
Cleaning -CORRECTANSWER Refers to the process of removing blood, other body
fluids, organic material, tissue, and dirt from the surface of an object by scrubbing with a
brush, detergent and water. It greatly reduces the number of microorganisms (including
bacterial endospores) on items and is a crucial step in processing. If items haven't first
been cleaned, further processing might not be effective.
, Contamination -CORRECTANSWER A disinfected or sterile item or surface that
becomes soiled with microorganisms
Cross-contamination -CORRECTANSWER The transfer of microorganisms from one
surface to another or from something contaminated to something clean or sterile
Detergent -CORRECTANSWER A substance that enhances the cleaning action of
water (preferably warm/hot) or another liquid.
Disinfectant -CORRECTANSWER A chemical agent that destroys microorganisms, but
does not necessarily kill all microbial forms on inanimate objects
Disinfection -CORRECTANSWER A process that destroys or kills some, but not all,
disease-producing microorganism on an object or surface. (Does not kill spores)
Gloves -CORRECTANSWER Protective equipment that must be worn to protect against
exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Disposable gloves are
single use that are disposed after each use. Most popular are made from latex, but
hypo-allergenic gloves, glove liners, powder less gloves, or other alternatives are
available for those allergic,
