• What organizations are required to have an IRE if DURC is being considered? -
✓✓Any organization that receives money from the federal government
• How often is IRE review required to determine if the research still falls under
DURC or enhanced measures are required? -✓✓At least annually
• Which of the following is accurate regarding the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) exposure limits for nanomaterials? -
✓✓NIOSH provides recommended occupational exposure limits for carbon
nanotubes, carbon nanofibres, silver nanoparticles, and titanium dioxide
• Why should biomedical laboratories develop and follow SOPs as a part of their
hazard control strategy? -✓✓They help personnel prevent exposures

diverse and beneficial applications in the field of nanomedicine. Which of the
following is a direct benefit of nanomedicine? -✓✓Improvements in cancer
detection, drug delivery, and imaging
• What is a potential route of exposure to nanomaterials in the workplace? -
✓✓Inhalation, Skin Absorption, and Ingestion
• Certain types of engineered nanoparticles may be hazardous, so proper

the IBC must have members or ad hoc consultants with expertise in which of the
following? -✓✓Plant, plant pathogen, or plant pest containment principles

• Which of the following is an institutional responsibility when an institution
receives funding from the NIH for research with recombinant or synthetic nucleic
acid molecules? -✓✓Establish an Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)
• How long do employers need to keep the records for OSHA Bloodborne
Pathogens Standard training? -✓✓For at least 3 years
• Which of the following is a required training topic for occupationally exposed
workers? -✓✓-Use and limitations of practices that will prevent exposure
-Epidemiology and symptoms of bloodborne diseases
-Modes of bloodborne pathogen transmission
• What does each employer that has workers with occupational exposure to human
blood or OPIM need to have? -✓✓A written Exposure Control Plan that identifies
who is exposed and outlines protective measures.
• What is the central focus of the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard? -✓✓The
standard discusses a framework to minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens
(such as HIV, HBV, and HCV) that could be present in human blood, tissues, and
body fluids.
