An object/s that is capable of inflicting harm onto an individual.

Possibility of being inflicted with damage or loss of life by an object/s that has the potential to do so.

Due to the previous paradigm of occupational safety being only a matter of ethical and moral responsibility in the U.S., a law was enacted to shift this perspective to one that is highly regulated and considered to be a lawful endeavor, other countries immediately followed after. What is this law and what governing body enacts it?(No Acronyms)

What are the hazards seen within the clinical laboratory?

Biohazards are present in what microorganisms? frequently present in what is being processed in the CL?

What part of the 6 CoI are disease-causing microorganisms designated in? Does the microorganism need to be infectious for it to be considered within this component?

A component of the 6-part CoI where the infectious agent is found living which can be either what?

Routes that pathogens use to exit their reservoir

Method utilized by the pathogen to infect a susceptible host, what are these methods?

Routes through which a pathogen enters a susceptible host

An individual who is vulnerable to an infectious agent.

determine the 3 subtypes of Contact Transmission

Identify the 2 subtypes of direct contact in order. (Here’s a hint, Maternal, prior and during labor)

Indirect contact is the transmis of pathogens via inanimate reservoirs. Respiratory particles are usually considered as droplet nuclei having a diameter lesser than 5 micrometers and can travel distances greater than 1 meter. Aerosols and droplet nuclei are considered airborne being able to remain in the air for long periods capable of traveling distances exceeding 1 meter.

Common Vehicle transmission of pathogens are inanimate. What are these mediums? Vector-borne transmission are done solely by anopheles female insects and are divided into two subtypes which are?

The pathogen will likely induce a milder form of the disease to a host if it fails to enter through the right channels. Entering the right portal of entry will allow the pathogen to completely develop and cause a severe form of the disease

Another Model for the chain of infection in which it incorporates biosafety.

The first component of the 3-part CoI includes the infectious agent and reservoir and what preventive measures?

the second component of the 3 part CoI consists of portals of entry and exit as well as mot, what are the preventive measures?

the last component of the 3 part CoI focuses on what aspect of the host? what are the preventive measures advised?

This measure is used to reduce the spread of an infection after an accidental/primary exposure .

Classifies biological infectious agents based on what? Where is this classification found in?

Identify what is the following microorganisms’ biosafety level i: 1. Bacilus subtilis 2. Escherichia coli 3.Ebola 4..Bacillus anthracis

Classifies an I.A. as only able to cause disease in an immunocompromised human

Classifies I.A. as a common causative agent of human disease and are transmitted via precutaneous injury, ingestion, bloodborne, and mucous membrane exposure.

Classifies I.A. as indigent causative agents of potentially lethal or damaging disease through droplet nuclei or droplets.

Dangerous or exotic causative agents of frequently fatal diseases transmitted via aerosols for which treatment is unknown

Classifies the level of risk an I.A. poses to an individual and community which is uused by two institutional/organizational bodies,

Classifies an I.A. as bein associated with disease in immunocompromised risk; posing no or low individual and community risk

Classifies I.A. as a common causative agent of disease that is rarely damaging and with treatment readily available; poses moderate individual risk and low community risk but is a serious hazard to lab workers, community and ecosystem with exposures in the lab causing serious but effectively treatable disease.

I.A. that is a causative agent for a serious/lethal disease i.e. HIV but rarely spreads and is treatable; poses high individual risk but low community risk

I.A. that are causatve agents to serious/lethal disease, treatment is scarce and is readily transmitted directly or indirectly; poses high risk for individuals and community

Protects germs from extremiet misuse, bioterrorism and overall unauthorized access.

Containment principles implemented to prevent the unintentional release of infectious agent or toxins subsequently imposing a hazard in a community.

Set guidelines and regulations on biohazards focusing solely on bloodborne infectious agents as sources of infection.

Set guidelines and regulations on biohazards with an emphasis on all bodily fluids as potential sources of infection without stressing standard precautions such as handwashing.

set guidelines and regulations on biohazards putting full emphasis on all bodily fluids as sources of contamination and biosafety precautions to prevent infection i.e. Handwashing, wearing PPE, and prevention of airborne infection.

Sequence the following in order: a. Put on rubber boots or overshoes b. Wear impermeable gown or waterproof apron over scrub c. put on goggles or face mask d. put on gloves e.perfrom hand hygiene f. put on facemask g. put on head cover h. Identify hazards, manage risk, and gather ppe

If laboratory requires the performance of what procedure which requires what item in combination with face shield/eye protection? what test must be done to ensure quality of the said item?

Rearrange the steps of doffing a ppe in order: a. Remove impermeable gown/waterproof apron for disposal or disinfection b. Remove gown and gloves, rolling inside out for disposal c.perfrorm hand hygiene d. perform hand hygiene again e. remove overshoes with gloves or using a boot remover if using rubber boots without touching them f. Remove face shield/goggles from behind the head for disinfection g. Remove mask from behind the head, untying the bottom string first before the first. h. remove head cover from behind the head

A device that protrcts workers from exposure to aerosols that may potentially contain infectious disease agents which are sterilized using what? classified into four sunpbtypes called?
