STUDY GUIDE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
Antiseptics - ANSWER-Chemical germicides formulated for use on skin; registered and
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Bacteria - ANSWER-Single-celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal
characteristics; some harmful, some harmless
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome - ANSWER-Abbreviated AIDS; a disease that
breaks down the body's immune system. AIDS is caused by the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HIV - ANSWER-Humane immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS
asymptomatic - ANSWER-Showing no symptoms or signs of infection
Bacterial spores - ANSWER-Bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that
allows them to withstand very harsh environments, and shed the coating when
conditions become more favorable.
Bactericidal - ANSWER-Capable of destroying bacteria
Biofilms - ANSWER-Colonies of microorganisms that adhere to environmental surfaces,
as well as the human body.
Bloodborne pathogens - ANSWER-Disease-causing microorganisms carried in the body
by blood or body fluids, such as hepatitis and HIV.
Chelating soaps - ANSWER-Break down stubborn films and remove the residue of
products such as scrubs, salts, and masks; aka chelating detergents
, Cleaning - ANSWER-A mechanical process using soap and water or detergent and
water to remove all visible dirt debris and many disease causing germs. Also removed
invisible debris necessary before disinfecting
Communicable - ANSWER-Able to be communicated
Contagious disease - ANSWER-AKA communicable disease; capable of being spread
from one person to another
communicable disease - ANSWER-Transferable by contact from one person to another
Contamination - ANSWER-The presence, or the reasonably anticipated presence, of
blood or other potentially infectious materials on an item's surface or visible debris or
residues such as dust, hair, and skin.
Diagnosis - ANSWER-Determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms
and/or diagnostic tests; federal regulations prohibit salon professionals from performing
a diagnosis
direct transmission - ANSWER-Transmission of pathogens through touching (shaking
hands, kissing, coughing, sneezing, talking)
Disease - ANSWER-An abnormal condition of all or part of the body, or its systems or
organs, that makes the body incapable of carrying on normal function.
Disinfectants - ANSWER-Chemical products approved by the EPA designed to destroy
most bacteria (excluding spores), fungi, and viruses on surfaces.
Disinfection - ANSWER-A chemical process that uses specific products to destroy
harmful organisms (except bacterial spores) on environmental surfaces.
