STUDY PACK
●● When Should Masks be Worn:
Answer: during all times when splash, splatter, spray and aerosols may
occur
●● OSHA Regulations Mandates that Lab Coats be Laundered by who
Answer: clinic or outside facility hired by clinic
●● Bioburden:
Answer: debris, microorganisms left on surfaces, (such as saliva and
blood)
●● Antibiotics:
Answer: kills microbes in our body
●● Antiseptics:
Answer: kills microbes on skin or body surface
●● Disinfectants:
,Answer: kills microbes on inanimate surfaces, prevent future growth
●● Sterilants:
Answer: kills ALL microbes on inanimate surfaces
●● Sterilant/HIGH LEVEL Disinfectant:
Answer: kills all microbes on inanimate objects, (heat resistant object)
●● Intermediate Level Disinfectant:
Answer: kills vegetative bacteria, fungi, virus, M., tuberculosis
●● Low-Level Disinfectant:
Answer: kills most vegetative bacteria, some fungi & some viruses,
NOT tuberculosis
●● Virucidal:
Answer: kills some virsues
●● Suffix-cidal:
Answer: to kill
●● Bactericidal:
,Answer: kills some bacteria
●● Fungicidal:
Answer: kills some fungi
●● Tuberculocidal:
Answer: kills tuberculosis bacterium
●● Sporcidal:
Answer: kills high level bacterial endospores, (for non-heat resistant
items)
●● Hospital Disinfectant:
Answer: kills 3 main bacteria
●● Chlorine Compounds:
Answer: bleach=sodium hypochlorite, Intermediate level disinfectant at
1:10 to 1:100 dilution, mix fresh daily
●● Iodophors:
Answer: iodine based, most are intermediate level disinfectant, prepare
daily, NOT used anymore
, ●● Alcohols:
Answer: Isopropyl/ethyl- antiseptic and disinfect, rapid evaporation,
poor cleaners, NOT used as a surface disinfectant, used as a component
in disinfectants
●● Phenols:
Answer: aka- carbolic acid, first widely used disinfectant, intermediate
level disinfectant, detergent added to aid w/cleaning, dilute & mix fresh
daily
●● Sterilization:
Answer: process intended to kill all microorganisms and is the highest
level of microbial kill that can be achieved
●● Disinfection:
Answer: less lethal, kills disease-producing microorganisms but NOT
bacterial endospores
●● Types of Sterilization: (3)
Answer: heat, gas, liquid chemical
●● Categories of Pt Care Items: (3)
Answer: critical, semi-critical, non-critical
