diease
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
What is disease?
the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms from one individual to another
What is infection control?
determination of the nature of a disease from its symptoms and/or diagnostic tests; federal regulations prohibit salon professionals from performing a diagnosis
What is diagnosis?
made or constructed of a material that has pores or openings; porous items are absorbent
What is porous?
are guidelines published by the CDC that require the employer and employee to assume that any human blood and body fluids are potentially infectious
an inflammatory disease of the skin caused by a viral infection and characterized by small vesicles in clusters
What is HSV?
a chemical process for reducing the number of disease-causing germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level
What is sanitation?
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
What is contamination?
commonly known as quats are products made of quaternary ammonium cations and are designed for disinfection of nonporous surfaces; they are appropriate for use in noncritical (noninvasive) environments and are effective against most pathogens of concern in the salon, spa, or barbershop environment
what are quaternary ammonium compounds?
also known as reusable; items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid
What is multiuse?
organisms that grow, feed, and shelter on or inside another organism (referred to as the host), while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism. Parasites must have a host to survive
What are parasites?
common household bleach; an effective disinfectant for the salon, spa, and barbershop
what is sodium hypochlorite?
capable of destroying bacteria
What is bactericidal?
tuberculocidal disinfectants that are a form of formaldehyde, have a very high pH, and can damage the skin and eyes
phenolic disinfectants?
able to be communicated; transferable by contact from one person to another as in a communicable disease
what is communicable?
a fungal infection of the skin that appears in circular lesions
What is ringworm?
the process that completely destroys all microbial life, including spores
What is sterilization?
chemical germicides formulated for use on skin; registered and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
What are antiseptics?
often referred to as phenolics, are proven to kill the bacterium that cause tuberculosis, in addition to other pathogens destroyed through the use of hospital disinfectants
what are tuberculocidal disinfectants?
illness resulting from conditions associated with employment, such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or ingredients
What is occupational disease?
disease produced by organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
What is pathogenic disease?
a mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt, debris, and many disease-causing germs. Cleaning also removes invisible debris that interfere with disinfection. Cleaning is what cosmetologists are required to do before disinfecting
What is cleaning?
harmless microorganisms that may perform useful functions and are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm
What is nonpathogenic?
chemical germicides formulated for use on skin; registered and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
What are antiseptics?
contact with non-intact (broken) skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials, which is the result of the performance of an employee’s duties
what is exposure incident?
