The  one-­celled  microorganisms  alsoknown  as  germs  or  microbes  are:

Bacteria

Disease  in  plant  or  animal  tissue  is  causedby:

nonpathogenic  bacteria

Technical  term  for  bacteria  that  live  ondead  matter  is:

saprophytes

The  spirilla  bacteria  Trepnema  pallidacauses:

syphilis

The  type  of  bacteria  called  cocci  have  a: round  shape

bacilli

Pus-­forming  bacteria  that  cause  strepthroat  and  blood  poisoning  are:

streptococci

spirilla

In  California  in  2000,  a  normally  harmlessbacteria  that  cause  infections  in  over  100pedicure  clients  was:

Mycobacterium  fortuitum  furunculosis

Cocci  rarely: show  self-­movement

Certain  bacteria  move  about  with  the  helpof  hair  like  extensions  called:

flagella

Mitosis  is  the  process  by  which  bacteria: divide

Certain  bacteria,  during  their  inactivestage,  form  outer  coverings  called:

spores

A  disease  that  is  transmitted  from  oneperson  to  another  by  contact  is  said  to  be:

One  way  in  which  bacteria  and  viruses  canenter  the  body  is  through:

broken  skin

Fungi,  or  vegetable  parasites,  causecontagious  diseases  such  as:

ringworm

Clients  showing  signs  of  a  contagiousdisease  or  condition  should  be:

referred  to  a  physician

Immunity  is  the  ability  of  the  body  toresist:

infection

Surfaces  such  as  tables,  walls,  doorknobs,or  your  hands,  no  matter  how  clean  theylook,  are  very  likely:

contaminated

There  are  three  main  levels  ofdecontamination:

sterilization,  disinfection,  sanitation

Only  one  level  of  decontamination,sterilization,  is  capable  of  killing:

bacterial  spores

Surgeons  and  dentists  are  required  topractice  ___________with  their  tools.

sterilization

Disinfection  may  be  used  on: nonporous  surfaces

Disinfectants  are  too  strong  to  use  on: skin,  hair,  or  nails

Each  individual  state  and  the  _______mustapprove  all  disinfectants.

EPA

A  Material  Safety  Data  Sheet  on  everyproduct  used  in  the  cosmetology  school  isrequired  by:

federal  law

An  MSDS  contains  important  informationabout  a  product,  including:

storage  requirements

The  government  agency  that  regulates  andenforces  safety  and  health  standards  in  theworkplace  is:

OSHA

In  order  to  be  considered  "Formulated  forHospitals  and  Health  Care  Facilities,"  adisinfectant  must  be  pseudomonacidal,bactericidal,  fungicidal,  and:

virucidal

An  EPA-­registered  tuberculocidaldisinfectant  or  one  that  kills  the  HVB  andHIV  virus  is  required  by  OSHA  forimplements  that  come  into  contact  with:

blood  or  body  fluids

Any  item  used  to  perform  a  salon  serviceon  a  client  must  be  disinfected  or:

discarded

Implements  must  be  thoroughly  cleanedbefore  they  are:

soaked  in  disinfectant

To  be  effective  in  the  salon,  ultrasonic  bathcleaners  must  be  used  with:

an  effective  disinfectant

An  immersion  time  of  10  to  15  minutes  issufficient  when  disinfecting  with:

quats

Phenols  in  5  percent  solution  are  safe  andextremely  effective  disinfectants  usedmostly  for:

metal  implements

Alcohol  and  bleach  are: no  longer  widely  used  as  disinfectants

For  disinfection  of  implements,  statesrequiring  hospital  disinfection  do  not  allowthe  use  of:

alcohol

Sodium  hypochlorite  is  more  commonlyknown  as:

bleach

A  product  that  was  used  in  the  past  as  a

disinfectant  but  is  no  longer  considered

safe  for  salon  use  is:

formalin

Tongs,  gloved  hands,  or  a  draining  basket

should  be  used  to  remove  implements

from:

disinfectants

Proper  disinfection  procedure  includes

changing  the  solution  in  a  wet  sanitizer:

once  a  day

The  most  important  rule  to  remember

when  mixing  disinfectants  is  to  always:

follow  the  manufacturer's  instructions

Once  implements  have  been  disinfected,

they  should  be  stored  in  a/an:

disinfected  and  covered  container

The  only  device  among  the  following  that

immersed  in  liquid  but  must  still  be

disinfected,  such  as:

nail  drills

An  EPA-­registered  disinfectant  with

bactericidal,  fungicidal,  virucidal  (and  in

some  states  tuberculocidal)  efficacy  should

be  used  to  disinfect  foot  spas:

after  each  client
