MILADY FOUNDATIONS TEST PAPER 2025/2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔disinfection - ✔✔a chemical process that uses specific products to destroy harmful
organisms (except bacterial spores) on environmental surfaces.
✔✔efficacy - ✔✔the ability of a product to produce the intended effect; on a disinfectant
label, it indicates specific pathogens destroyed or disabled when used properly.
✔✔exposure incident - ✔✔contact with non-intact (broken) skin, blood, body fluid, or
other potentially infectious materials, which is the result of the performance of an
employee's duties.
✔✔fungi - ✔✔single-celled organisms that grow in irregular masses and include molds,
mildews, and yeasts; they can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm.
✔✔fungicidal - ✔✔capable of destroying molds and fungi.
✔✔hepatitis - ✔✔a bloodborne virus that causes disease and can damage the liver.
✔✔herpes simplex virus - ✔✔an inflammatory disease of the skin caused by a viral
infection and characterized by small vesicles in clusters.
✔✔human immunodeficiency virus - ✔✔abbreviated HIV; virus that causes HIV disease
and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
✔✔human papilloma virus - ✔✔abbreviated HPV; virus that can infect the bottom of the
foot and resembles small black dots, usually in clustered groups; also a cutaneous viral
infection commonly contracted through sexual transmission and exhibited by genital
warts.
✔✔indirect transmission - ✔✔transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with
an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an
environmental surface.
✔✔infection - ✔✔the invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens.
✔✔intection control - ✔✔the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of
infectious organisms from one individual to another.
✔✔infectious - ✔✔caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection.
, ✔✔infectious disease - ✔✔disease caused by pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms
that enter the body; an infectious disease may or may not be spread from one person to
another person.
✔✔inflammation - ✔✔a condition in which the body reacts to injury, irritation, or
infection, characterized by redness, heat, pain, and swelling.
✔✔local infection - ✔✔an infection, such as a pimple or abscess, that is confined to a
particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus.
✔✔methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus - ✔✔a type of infectious bacteria that is
highly resistant to conventional treatments such as antibiotics.
✔✔microorganism - ✔✔any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size.
✔✔mildew - ✔✔a type of fungus that affects plants or grows on inanimate objects but
does not cause human infections in the barbershop.
✔✔multiuse - ✔✔items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one
person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid.
✔✔mycobacterium - ✔✔a large family of bacteria that is often found in soil and water.
✔✔nonpathogenic - ✔✔harmless microorganisms that may perform useful functions
and are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm.
✔✔nonporous - ✔✔an item that is made of a material that has no pores or openings
and cannot absorb liquids.
✔✔occupational disease - ✔✔illness resulting from conditions associated with
employment, such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or
ingredients.
✔✔parasites - ✔✔organisms that grow, feed, and shelter on or inside another organism
(referred to as the host), while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism.
✔✔parasitic disease - ✔✔disease caused by parasites, such as lice and mites.
✔✔pathogenic - ✔✔harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or infection in
humans when they invade the body.
✔✔pathogenic disease - ✔✔disease produced by organisms, including bacteria,
viruses, fungi, and parasites.
