Week 2 Study Guide

Front 1

What are the different types of microorganisms and pathogens?

Back 1

Bacteria, Fungus, Rickettsia, virus, protozoa

Front 2

Bacteria

Back 2

One celled organisms that cause disease. Cocci (round shaped arranged in chains, custards or tetrads), bacilli (rod shaped), spiral (curved rod)

Front 3

Rickettsia

Back 3

Genus of bacteria known as parasites that must live inside another organism in order to survive (Ticks, Fleas, mites, lice)

Front 4

Virus

Back 4

Grow and reproduce only after infecting a host sell and attacking the R N A and D N A (H I V)

Front 5

Fungus

Back 5

Simple, single-celled organism (yeast, mold, mushrooms)

Front 6

Protozoa

Back 6

Disease-causing microorganisms that mainly live in soil. Unicellular, animal-like microorganisms

Front 7

What are the stages of disease?

Back 7

Incubation, prodromal, acute, declining, convalescent

Front 8

Incubation stage

Back 8

First stage, interval between exposure and the appearance of the first symptoms

Front 9

Prodromal Stage

Back 9

Second Stage, Marks the interval between the earliest symptoms and the appearance of a rash or elevated temperatures. (weakness and fatigue)

Front 10

Acute Stage

Back 10

Third Stage, Symptoms peak and the patients feel the worst

Front 11

Declining Stage

Back 11

Forth Stage, Lessening of symptoms and patient starts to feel better

Front 12

Convalescent Stage

Back 12

Last stage. Recovery period and symptoms had disappeared and the patient has regained full strength

Front 13

What are the two organizations that play an important role in safety guidelines and regulation?

Back 13

Centers for Disease control and Prevention ( C D C)
Occupational safety and Health Administration (O S H A)

Front 14

C D C

Back 14

Instruct health care providers on how to minimize the risk of disease transmission when providing care

Front 15

O H S A

Back 15

Regulated by the U S department of labor to ensure safe, healthy working conditions for Americana's

Front 16

What are universal/standard precautions

Back 16

P P E, Vaccinations, Exposure control, Disposal of Bio-hazard waste

Front 17

Bio-Hazard Waste

Back 17

Containers that hold bodily fluids

Front 18

Sharps container

Back 18

Needles, scalpel blades, capillary tubes and broken glass or slides

Front 19

What are the different levels of Asepsis?

Back 19

Sanitation, disinfection, Sterilization

Front 20

Sanitation

Back 20

removal of microorganisms using chemical, heat, or ionizing radiation

Front 21

Disinfection

Back 21

involves the application of a substance to equipment, surfaces or other item to kill pathogenic microorganisms

Front 22

Sterilization

Back 22

eliminates all microorganisms from a surface or instruments through exposure to chemicals, ionizing radiation, dry-heat gas or steam

Front 23

Autoclave

Back 23

a device that sterilizes items using steam-pressure of a temperature of 250 to 270 degrees F (120 to 130 degrees C) with 15 pound of pressure. This causes proteins in microorganisms to coagulate; when chamber cools, the condensation of steam causes the explosion of all microorganism cells, ensuring their complete destruction

Front 24

What are the different types of Asepsis

Back 24

Medical Asepsis: destruction of pathogenic microorganisms after they leave the body

Surgical Asepsis: practice of destroying all pathogenic microorganisms before the enter the body

Front 25

Normal Flora

Back 25

Organisms found in the body that do not cause disease and are sometimes beneficial

Front 26

Parasite

Back 26

Pathogen requiring another living organism in order to survive

Front 27

Prion

Back 27

Proteinaceous infectious particle that can cause a spongeifrom encephalopathy

Front 28

Smear

Back 28

Bacterial growth sample that is spread onto a microscope slide for staining purposes

Front 29

What are the different types of Microbiology testing?

Back 29

Culture and Sensitivity ( C&S) test, gram stain, fungal culture, viral culture, acid-fast hydroxide (A F B) stain, Potassium hydroxide (K O H) stain, O&P determination

Front 30
