Local Infection CORRECT ANSWERS: An infection that is confined to one area
e.g. pimple or boil
General Infection CORRECT ANSWERS: An infection that has spread to all
parts of the body
e.g. blood poisoning
Cross Infection CORRECT ANSWERS: The transfer of infection from one
individual to another by direct contact or shared utensils (indirect)
Immunity CORRECT ANSWERS: Protection against certain types of invading
bacteria or toxic substances once they have entered the body.
It involves the ability to recognise, memorise and respond. It can be inborn
or acquired.
Natural Immunity CORRECT ANSWERS: Natural exposure to disease forming
organisms that the body fights off and produces antibodies to prevent
reinfection.

substances that enter the blood stream or skin tissue.

Anaerobic Bacteria CORRECT ANSWERS: Does not need oxygen to survive.
Filterable Viruses CORRECT ANSWERS: So small, they can pass through
pores of porcelain filters.

destroy bacteria.
Not generally used on the skin.
Disinfect CORRECT ANSWERS: Destroy bacteria on any object.
Fumigant CORRECT ANSWERS: Vapour used to keep sterile objects sanitary,
in a container or drawer.
Bactericide/germicide CORRECT ANSWERS: Chemical agent having the
power to destroy bacteria/germs.
Contagious CORRECT ANSWERS: When a disease is transmitted by direct or
indirect contact.

in a disinfectant.
Before use objects must be washed thoroughly with hot water and detergent
then rinsed.

Keep containers sealed and in a safe place.
Avoid spillages.
Air Ventilation CORRECT ANSWERS: Air should not be dry or stagnant, or
have a stale or musty odour.
Room temperatures should be around 26 degrees and must be ventilated.
Avoid the spread of aids by: CORRECT ANSWERS: Wearing gloves in any

(often used in hospitals)
BEAD: glass beads 250-260 degrees for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Gamma Ray Radiation CORRECT ANSWERS: Destroys micro organisms
through action of ionised particles (not suited for salon use, mostly for the
medical field).
First Level of Sanitation CORRECT ANSWERS: Equipment that does not
pierce the skin:
1. wash in warm soapy water
2. rinse
3. dry
4. wipe with metho
5. place in sanitising cabinet until use
Second Level of Sanitation CORRECT ANSWERS: Equipment in contact with

1. rinse in COLD (prevents coagulation) soapy water
2. wash in warm soapy water
3. rinse
4. dry
5. immerse in disinfectant for 10 minutes
6. rinse, dry and place in sanitising cabinet until use
Third Level of Sanitation CORRECT ANSWERS: Heat (moist or dry) and
Radiation.
Bacteria CORRECT ANSWERS: One celled living organisms, reproduce
through amitosis.
Not visible to the naked eye.
-Pathogenic (disease forming)
-Non-pathogenic (good bacteria)
Ideal temperature is 37 degrees in warm, dark and moist environments.
Active Bacteria CORRECT ANSWERS: Full growth in 20-30 minutes
Inactive Bacteria CORRECT ANSWERS: Unable to grow and reproduce when
exposed to too much light, heat, lack of food or moisture.
Spores CORRECT ANSWERS: Hard shell like covering that bacteria forms
while environment is unfavourable and allows bacteria to survive during that
period.
