questions with verified answers

Antiseptics - correct answer ✔✔ Chemical agents approved for use on the skin that inhibit the
growth and reproduction of microorganisms
Asepsis - correct answer ✔✔ The absence of pathogenic microorganisms on an animate surface
or on body tissue.
sepsis - correct answer ✔✔ with infection
Asepsis - correct answer ✔✔ without infection
aseptic technique - correct answer ✔✔ methods or practices in health care that reduce or
prevent the spread of infection
chemical barrier - correct answer ✔✔ the barrier formed by the residual action of a disinfectant
or antiseptic; it not only reduces the number if microorganisms on a surface, but also prevents
recolonization for a limited period
containment and confinement - correct answer ✔✔ a foundation concept of aseptic technique
in which sterile and non-sterile surfaces are separated by physical barriers or distance
contamination - correct answer ✔✔ the consequence of physical contact between a sterile
surface and non-sterile surface. Contamination results in the potential or actual transfer of
microbes to tissue or an inanimate object
, double gloving - correct answer ✔✔ wearing two pairs of gloves, one over the other, to reduce
the risk of contamination as a result of glove failure or puncture
gross contamination - correct answer ✔✔ contamination of a large area of tissue by a highly
infective source
hand disinfection - correct answer ✔✔ the systematic application of antiseptic foam or gel on
the hands and arms before gowning and gloving for a sterile procedure. hand disinfection may
be used as an alternative to the traditional hand scrub under certain conditions.
Nonsterile personnel - correct answer ✔✔ In surgery, team members who remain outside the
boundary of the sterile field and do not come in direct contact with sterile equipment, sterile
areas, or the surgical wound. The circulator, anesthesia care provider, and radiographic tech are
examples
physical barrier - correct answer ✔✔ in surgery, a barrier that separates the sterile surface from
a nonsterile surface. Examples are sterile surgical gloves, gowns, and drapes.
surgical cap - correct answer ✔✔ physical barrier that that prevents bacteria-laden surface,
such as the hair, from shedding microorganisms
resident flora - correct answer ✔✔ microorganisms are normally present in specific tissues.
necessary to the regular function of these tissues or structures- also called normal flora.
scrub - correct answer ✔✔ the scrubbed surgical tech or nurse assisting in surgery/ or hand
scrub
scrubbed personnel - correct answer ✔✔ in surgery, members if the surgical team who have
performed hand antispsis, donned sterile attire and move within the sterile field.
