Acquired |immune |deficiency |syndrome |(AIDS) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |last |stage |of |
infection |caused |by |the |human |immunodeficiency |virus |(HIV), |which |most |often |results |in |
severe |damage |to |the |body's |immunse |system
Applicator |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |term |referring |to |either |single-use |and |reusable |spatula |
or |similar |devices
Antiseptic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |chemical |agent |that |destroys |or |inhibits |microorganisms |
on |skin |or |tissue |and |has |an |effect |of |limiting |optimally |preventing |infection
Autoclave |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Equipment |used |for |the |sterilization |of |heat |resistant |
instruments
Bacteria |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Microscopic |organisms |that |are |too |small |to |be |visible |to |the
|naked |eye. |They |are |capable |of |causing |infection |when |a |person |is |exposed |to |them |under |
certain |circumstances, |such |as |through |abraded |skin |(eg. |staphylococci, |streptococci)
Bacterial |Spores |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Some |microorganisms |are |able |to |survive |in |very |
harsh |conditions |by |enveloping |themselves |with |this |thick |wall. |They |make |bacteria |highly |
resistant |to |killing. |If |they |are |introduced |to |the |body |where |conditions |become |more |
favorable—when |there's |more |water |or |more |food |available—the |bacteria |"come |to |life" |
again, |transforming |from |a |spore |back |to |a |vegetative |cell |that |can |cause |serious |infection. |
They |can |be |destroyed |by |sterilization |only
, Blood |borne |infections |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Infections |caused |by |viruses |found |in |the |
blood |such |as |hepatitis |B |virus |(HBV), |hepatitis |C |virus |(HCV), |or |human |immunodeficiency |

organic |material, |tissue, |and |dirt |from |the |surface |of |an |object |by |scrubbing |with |a |brush, |
detergent |and |water. |It |greatly |reduces |the |number |of |microorganisms |(including |bacterial |
endospores) |on |items |and |is |a |crucial |step |in |processing. |If |items |haven't |first |been |cleaned, |
further |processing |might |not |be |effective.
Contamination |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |disinfected |or |sterile |item |or |surface |that |becomes |
soiled |with |microorganisms
Cross-contamination |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |transfer |of |microorganisms |from |one |
surface |to |another |or |from |something |contaminated |to |something |clean |or |sterile
Detergent |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |substance |that |enhances |the |cleaning |action |of |water |
(preferably |warm/hot) |or |another |liquid.
Disinfectant |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |chemical |agent |that |destroys |microorganisms, |but |does
|not |necessarily |kill |all |microbial |forms |on |inanimate |objects
Disinfection |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |process |that |destroys |or |kills |some, |but |not |all, |
disease-producing |microorganism |on |an |object |or |surface. |(Does |not |kill |spores)
Gloves |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Protective |equipment |that |must |be |worn |to |protect |against |
exposure |to |blood |and |other |potentially |infectious |materials. |Disposable |gloves |are |single |use |
