The last stage of infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
most often results in severe damage to the body's immune system -- Answer ✔✔
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
a a a a
A term referring to either single-use and reusable spatula or similar devices -- Answer
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
✔✔ Applicator
a
A chemical agent that destroys or inhibits microorganisms on skin or tissue and has an
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
effect of limiting optimally preventing infection -- Answer ✔✔ Antiseptic
a a a a a a a a a
Equipment used for the sterilization of heat resistant instruments -- Answer ✔✔
a a a a a a a a a a a a
Autoclave
Microscopic organisms that are too small to be visible to the naked eye. They are capable
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
of causing infection when a person is exposed to them under certain circumstances, such
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
as through abraded skin (e.g. Staphylococci, streptococci) -- Answer ✔✔ Bacteria
a a a a a a a a a a
Some microorganisms are able to survive in very harsh conditions by enveloping
a a a a a a a a a a a a
themselves with this thick wall. They make bacteria highly resistant to killing. If they are
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
introduced to the body where conditions become more favorable—when there's more
a a a a a a a a a a a
water or more food available—the bacteria "come to life" again, transforming from a
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
spore back to a vegetative cell that can cause serious infection. They can be destroyed by
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
sterilization only -- Answer ✔✔ Bacterial Spores a a a a a a
Infections caused by viruses found in the blood such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
avirus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -- Answer ✔✔ Blood borne
a a a a a a a a a a a a
infections
, Fluids normally present in the body such as blood, mucous, sweat, oil, saliva, urine, ooze
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
from a festering sore, or tears. They may contain infectious organisms. -- Answer ✔✔

Body Fluids a
Refers to the process of removing blood, other body fluids, organic material, tissue, and
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
dirt from the surface of an object by scrubbing with a brush, detergent and water. It
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
greatly reduces the number of microorganisms (including bacterial endospores) on items
a a a a a a a a a a a
and is a crucial step in processing. If items haven't first been cleaned, further processing
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
might not be effective. -- Answer ✔✔ Cleaning
a a a a a a a
A disinfected or sterile item or surface that becomes soiled with microorganisms --
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Answer ✔✔ Contamination a a
The transfer of microorganisms from one surface to another or from something
a a a a a a a a a a a a
contaminated to something clean or sterile -- Answer ✔✔ Cross-contamination a a a a a a a a a
A substance that enhances the cleaning action of water (preferably warm/hot) or another
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
liquid. -- Answer ✔✔ Detergent
a a a a
A chemical agent that destroys microorganisms, but does not necessarily kill all microbial
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
forms on inanimate objects -- Answer ✔✔ Disinfectant
a a a a a a a
A process that destroys or kills some, but not all, disease-producing microorganism on an
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
object or surface. (Does not kill spores) -- Answer ✔✔ Disinfection
a a a a a a a a a a
Protective equipment that must be worn to protect against exposure to blood and other
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
potentially infectious materials. Disposable gloves are single use that are disposed after
a a a a a a a a a a a a
each use. Most popular are made from latex, but hypo-allergenic gloves, glove liners,
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
powder less gloves, or other alternatives are available for those allergic, -- Answer ✔✔

Gloves
Infection of the liver, can cause a lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring), cancer, liver
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
failure, death. Takes 6 weeks to 6 months to produce infection when the virus enters the
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
body -- Answer ✔✔ Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
