exposure ✔Correct Answer-to come in contact
Pictogram (pictograph) ✔Correct Answer-Images representing proper ways to take or store
medications, precautions, or other important information about a medication or tool that is provided
through health care
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) ✔Correct Answer-Document required by OSHA that provides information
on the safe use of and hazards of chemicals, as well as emergency steps to take in the event
chemicals are splashed, sprayed, or ingested
chain of infection ✔Correct Answer-infectious agent, reservoir(people animal object), portal of

entry(open wound or facial area), susceptible host(me/anyone)
Bleach to water ratio ✔Correct Answer-1 part bleach to 10 parts water
Infection control ✔Correct Answer-practices and procedures that prevent the spread of infection
Isolation techniques include: ✔Correct Answer-streak plate technique, pour plate technique,
spread plate technique, gram stain, blood cultures, cultures
aseptic techniques ✔Correct Answer-techniques that prevent contamination by unwanted
microorganisms such as disposable gloves, plexiglass shields, proper ppe
, Disease prevention and control ✔Correct Answer-prevent and control communicable diseases and
provide travel medicine, population health management, and hospital-acquired infection control.
Precision vs. Accuracy ✔Correct Answer-Ability to repeatedly get the same result vs. the ability to
get the correct target value
Reliability ✔Correct Answer-The accuracy and precision of a testing procedure or instrument
Linearity ✔Correct Answer-Measure of an instrument ability to measure test results in an accurate
matter test results put it in a straight line on a graph
Mean value ✔Correct Answer-average
Coefficient of Variation (CV) ✔Correct Answer-A measure of relative variability computed by
dividing the standard deviation by the mean and multiplying by 100. CV= (s/x) x 100
Standard deviation ✔Correct Answer-a computed measure of how much scores vary around the
mean value

preservative ✔Correct Answer-a substance that stops the growth of microorganisms in blood
Lancet ✔Correct Answer-small surgical tool for making incisions
petechiae ✔Correct Answer-a small raised bumps shows the patient is going to bleed excessively
red or purple spot caused by bleeding into the skin.
Plasma (blood) ✔Correct Answer-60% of blood is plasma which contains salts called electrolytes,
