Bacteria are very small and can only be seen with the aid of
bacteria
one-celled microorganisms with both plant and animal characteristics are
stimulate the immune response
In the human body, nonpathogenic bacteria help metabolize food, protect against infectious microorganisms, and
almost anywhere
Bacteria can exist
pathogenic
A small minority of bacteria that cause disease when invading plant or animal tissue are
parasites
A type of pathogenic bacteria that require living matter for growth are
streptococci
Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines that resemble a string of beads are
round-shaped
Cocci are pathogenic bacteria that are
streptococci
Bacteria that may cause strep throat or blood poisoning are
diplococci
Bacteria that grow in pairs and can cause pneumonia are
sprilla
Lyme disease, syphilis, or sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are caused by spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria called
diseases
In humans, pathogenic bacteria are known to produce
cocci
Bacteria that are transmitted through the air and rarely show active motility are
flagella
Bacilli and spirilla bacteria are both motile and use slender, hairlike extensions known as
nonpathogenic bacteria
Harmless bacteria are what type of bacteria?

In 2000, a bacteria called Mycobacterium fortuitum furunculosis caused a client outbreak due to the failure of the practitioner to follow proper disinfection guidelines for
protoplasm
Bacteria generally consist of an outer wall containing a liquid called
inactive or spore forming stage
The life cycle of bacteria has two distinct phases, the active stage and
mitosis
The process whereby bacteria grow, reproduce, and divide into two new cells is
anthrax and tetanus bacilli
Bacteria that pose little or no risk to a client in the salom setting but are dangerous in the medical setting are
bacterial infection
The presence of pus is a sign of a
infection
When body tissues are invaded by pathogenic bacteria, it is a sign of an
staphylococci
Common human bacteria transferred through skin-to-skin contact or by using unclean implements are
contagious
When a disease spreads from one person to another, it is communicable or
local infection
An infection, indicated by a lesion containing pus, confined to a particular part of the body is a
contagious
When a disease spreads from one person to another by contact, it is
virus
A submicroscopic structure capable of infecting plants and animals including bacteria is a
penetrating other cells and becoming a part of them
A virus can live and reproduce only by
liver
Hepatitis A, a bloodborne virus, is marked by an inflammation of the
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the virus that causes
parasite
An organism that lives on another living organism and draws its nourishment from that organism is a
nail fungus
If nail implements have not been disinfected properly, the client may contract
bloodborne pathogens
Disease-causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the body in the blood or body fluids are
anytime the skin barrier is broken
Transmission of bloodborne pathogens can become possible through shaving, nipping, facial treatments, waxing, tweezing, or
pediculosis
A skin disease cause by an infestation of head lice is
immunity
The ability of the body to destroy pathogenic bacteria or viruses that have entered the body is
acquired immunity
The type of immunity the body develops after overcoming a disease or through vaccinations is
contaminants
The surface of tools or objects not completely free from dirt, oils, and microbes are covered with
decontamination
The process of removing pathogens and other substances from tools and surfaces is
sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization
The three main types of decontamination are
physical or chemical means to remove or destroy pathogens
Decontamination is a process that involves the use of
sterilization
Estheticians who use needles and probes that lance the skin must use a level of decontamination called
microorganisms on non-living surfaces
In the salon setting, disinfection is extremely effective in controlling
disinfection
A higher level of decontamination than sanitations is
the client's skin is broken
An exception to the level of protection that disinfection provides and the possibility of an infection could be present if
disinfectant
A chemical agent that is used to destroy bacteria and viruses on surfaces is
Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA)
Disinfectants must have a registration number and be approved by the
Material Safety Data Sheets
A manufacturer must supply pertinent safety and storage information by providing
OSHA
The agency that enforces safety and health standards in the workplace is
bacterial, fungicidal, and virucidal
A disinfectant that meets regulatory agency requirements for destroying bacteria, fungi, and viruses is
efficacy
A disinfectant useds in salons should be appropriate and have the correct
completely immersed in an EPA-registered disinfectant
A salon implement that accidentally comes in contact with blood or body fluids should be cleaned and
discarded
Any item that cannot be disinfected after use on a client must be
quanternary ammonium compounds
Common, very safe, and useful types of disinfectant taht contain sophisticated blends that work to disinfect implements in 10 to 15 minutes are
phenolic disinfectants
Disinfectant with a high pH that can cause skind irritation or burn the skin or eyes are
70 percent
To be effective in the disinfection of implements, ethyl alcohol must be no less than
sodium hypocholrite
A common household product used effectively as a disinfectant is
mix according to the manufacturer's exact directions
When mixing a disinfectant solution, add disinfectant to water and
tongs, basket, or gloves
To avoid contaminating implements, remove from a disinfectant solution using
a clean, dry container
Store a clean, disinfected implement in
after use on a client
How often must individual towels and linens be set aside to be laundered?

The contact points of equipment that cannot be immersed in liquid solutions should be cleaned and disinfected using a
flushing the system with low-sudsing soap and warm water for 10 minutes, rinsing, draining, and letting air-dry
At the end of the day, the disinfection procedure for a foot spa should include removing and cleaning the screen, washing the screen in an approved disinfectant according to manufacturers' directions and
a disinfectant solution and left at least 6 to 10 hours, then drained and flushed
Every week, foot spas should be cleaned following the daily procedure and filled with
