100

What means of transmission 

• _________ travel 1 meter or less from the infected individual

Droplet

200

What means of transmission 

• Transfer of infectious material via an object such as bed linens

Direct Contact

400

What means of transmission

• Transmission by insects

Vector

500

What Means of Transmission

Droplets transfer on air currents

Airborne

Misc

100

When coming into contact with patients under airborne precautions, it is necessary to wear

a mask and gloves

200

Disinfection of countertops is best done using

10 percent bleach solution.

300

Standard precautions policy states that if there is a possibility of coming into contact with a patient’s blood or any other body fluid, you must wear

gloves

400

Practices that are incorporated into all health care associates’ work habits to prevent the spread of infection

 Work practice controls

500

The phlebotomist is considered a potential source of infection to the patient in what type of isolation

Protective (Reverse) 

Safety and Isolation

100

Equipment that is used to protect the health care associate from exposure to blood and body fluids.

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

200

a type of Isolation based on the category (strict, respiratory, etc.) of isolation.

category-specific isolation

300

a type of Isolation based on the type of disease infecting the patient.

 Disease-Specific Isolation

400

a type of Isolation precautions taken for patients diagnosed or suspected of a specific transmissible disease. The precautions are based on whether the disease is transmitted by airborne, droplet, or contact methods.

transmission-based precautions

500

----------are physical and mechanical devices that are available to the health care associate to reduce or eliminate the potential to transfer infectious diseases. 

Engineering Controls

Healthcare Standards

100

What is the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection 

Hand washing

200

What work practice control must be available at no charge to the phlebotomist and is effective for 15 or more years in protecting the phlebotomist. 

HBV Vaccine

300

what Assumes that all blood and most body fluids are potentially infectious. A principle maintaining that personal protective equipment must be worn for contact with all body fluids whether blood is visible or not. 

Standard precautions

400

A pathogen that is spread by blood and body fluids containing blood. Typically, the pathogens are hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Blood-borne pathogens 

500

A principle to protect health care associates from infections as a result of exposure to body fluids. A term now replaced by standard precautions
