2025 STUDY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Bacteria - ANSWER-One-celled microorganisms having both plant and animal
characteristics some are harmful and some are harmless.
Direct Transmission - ANSWER-Transmission of blood or body fluids through
touching (including shaking hands),kissing,coughing, sneezing, and talking.
Indirect transmission - ANSWER-Transmission of blood or body fluids through
contact with an intermediate contaminated object, such as a razor,
extractor,nipper, or an environmental surface.
Infection - ANSWER-Invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens.
Germs - ANSWER-Nonscientific synonym for disease-producing organs
Microorganism - ANSWER-Any organism of microscopic to submicroscopic
size.
Parasites - ANSWER-Organisms that grow,feed, and shelter on or in another
organism (referred to as the host),while contributing nothing to the survival
of that organism. Parasites must have a host to survive.
Toxins - ANSWER-Various poisonous substance produced by some
microorganisms (bacteria and viruses).
Virus - ANSWER-A parasitic submicroscopic particle that infects and resides in
cells of biological organisms. A virus is capable of replication only though
taking over the host cell's reproductive function.
Cocci - ANSWER-Round shaped, alone
Staphylococci - ANSWER-Clusters like bunches of grapes, may not cause
infection in healthy humans. Causes pustules, and boils.
Streptococci - ANSWER-Pus-forming arranged in curved lines like string of
beads. Causes strep throat and blood poisoning.
Diplococci - ANSWER-Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs. Causes
pneumonia.
, Bacilli - ANSWER-Short rod shaped. Causes tetanus, lockjaw,tuberculosis, and
diphtheria.Moves using flagella.
Spirilla - ANSWER-Spiral or corkscrew shaped bacteria. Causes sexually
transmitted disease, and syphilis.
Moves using flagella.
Active Stage of bacteria - ANSWER-Bacteria grow and reproduce in warm,
damp or dirty places.
Inactive or spore forming stage - ANSWER-During this stage bacteria coat
themselves with wax like outer shells. This helps them withstand famine,
dryness, and unsuitable temperatures.
MRSA - ANSWER-Occurs with persons with weakened immune systems or
people whom have undergone medical procedures. Signs may be pimples,
rashes, boils.
Quaternary ammonium compounds - ANSWER-Quats are disinfectants that
are very effective when used properly in the salon. Formula contains anti-
rust ingredients, so leaving tools in solution for a prolonged period of time
can cause dulling or damage. (Barbicide)
Phenolic Disinfectants - ANSWER-Form of formaldehyde, high pH and can
damage skin or eyes. Known as carcinogens.
Sodium hypochlorite - ANSWER-Bleach
Porous - ANSWER-An item that is made or constructed of a material that has
pores or openings. Absorbent. Examples would be; towels, linens, nail files or
buffers.
Chelating soaps - ANSWER-Works to break down stubborn films and remove
the residue of pedicure products such as scrubs, salts, and masks.
1 gallon - ANSWER-128 ounces
5 gallons - ANSWER-640 ounces
Antiseptics - ANSWER-Chemical formulated for use on the skin registered and
formulated by the FDA.
Asymptomatic - ANSWER-Showing no symptom or signs of infection.
Trichology - ANSWER-Study of hair, skin, and glands.
