Question 12

Match each term with its definition.
-Process that destroys all forms of living organisms

Accepted Answer

Sterilization is the process that destroys all forms of living organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. This is achieved through various methods such as heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and filtration, ensuring that an object is completely free of all living microorganisms.

Question 13

Match each term with its definition.
-Used as a quality control method to validate that sterilization has been achieved

Accepted Answer

Biological indicators are used in sterilization processes to confirm that the sterilization has been effective. They contain microorganisms that are highly resistant to the sterilization process being tested. If the biological indicator shows that these microorganisms have been killed, it validates that the process has been effective in achieving sterilization.

Question 14

Match each term with its definition.
-Type of infection control used to decrease the risk of spreading infection by decreasing the number of pathogenic microorganisms and their spread after they leave the body

Accepted Answer

Medical asepsis refers to practices aimed at reducing the number and spread of pathogens, thereby decreasing the risk of infection.

Question 15

Match the communicable disease with the means of transmission (also known as modes of transmission),incubation,symptoms,and treatment.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Crops of pruritic vesicular eruptions on the skin,slight fever and headache,malaise

Accepted Answer

The symptoms described, such as pruritic vesicular eruptions on the skin, slight fever, headache, and malaise, are characteristic of chicken pox.

Question 16

Match the communicable disease with the means of transmission (also known as modes of transmission),incubation,symptoms,and treatment.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Painful blisters on lips,which turn pustular and then form crusted scabs

Accepted Answer

The description of painful blisters on lips, which turn pustular and then form crusted scabs, is characteristic of the herpes simplex virus.

Question 17

Match each term with its definition.
-Process of washing and scrubbing to remove materials such as body tissue,blood,or other body fluids
