Sanitation & Disinfection
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are bacteria? | 1 celled microorganisms w/both plant & animal characteristics; some are harmful, some harmless; also known as microbes/germs |
Name & describe the 2 main classifications of bacteria | 1)Non pathogenic - not harmful; does not cause disease2)Pathogenic - harmful; cause diseases when they invade plant/animal tissue; also called microbes/germs |
How is AIDS transmitted/ not transmitted and affect the body? | Transmitted through blood, body fluids, unprotected sex and sharing of needles (by intravenous/IV). Not transmitted by holding hands, hugging, kissing, sharing food/house hold items. Affects: breaks down the body's immune system. |
What is contagious/ communicable disease? | When disease spreads from person to person by contact; tuberculosis, common cold, ringworm, scabies & viral infection |
Local infection v.s general infection | Local Infection - confide to a particular part of the body & is indicated by a lesion containing pus General Infection - when bloodstream carries bacteria/ viruses & their toxins to all parts of the body |
Define Immunity | Ability of body to destroy any bacteria that have gained entrance into the body & resist infection in general. |
2 types of Immunity | Acquired Immunity - immunity developed after body overcomes disease/ through inoculation Natural Immunity - natural resistance to disease; partly inherited & partly developed through hygienic living |
What is decontamination? 3 levels of decontamination | removal of pathogens & other substances from implements & surfaces.3 Levels: Sterilization, disinfection, sanitation |
What is MSDS? | Material Safety Data Sheet: information compiled by manufacturer about its product; ranging from ingredient content and associated haxards to combustion levels & storage requirements |
List & describe types of salon disinfectants | 1. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (quats)- odorless, non toxic & fast-acting2. Phenol - Carbolic acid; caustic poison; 5% dilute solution is utilized to sanitize metal implements3. Hospital Disinfectant- pseudomonacidal, tuberculocidal, etc. |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Sterilization | Items: lancets/other facial tools & implements used 2 puncture/ break skin/ anything comes in contact w/pus or blood Procedure: steam autoclave & dry heat. Dispose of all sharps in puncture-proof container |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Disinfection (not in contact w/blood or body fluids) | Items: nonporous toos & implements that have not come in contact w/blood or body fluids Procedure: complete immersion in EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant for amount of time specified by the manufacturer |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Disinfection (contact w/blood or body fluids) | Items: nonporous tools & implements that have accidentally come in contact Procedure: complete immersion in an EPA-registered disinfectant w/ demonstrated efficacy against HIV-1/HBV/ tuberculosis for the amt. of time specified by manufacturer |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Disinfection (Electrotherapy tools) | Procedure: spray/ wiping w/an EPA-registered, hospital grade disinfectant specifically made for electrical equipment |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Sanitation (countertops, sinks, floors, toilets, doorknobs, mirrors, dermascope, dispensary & facial beds) | Procedure: utilize EPA-registered cleaning product designed for surfaces; efficacy label states what is appropriate |
Infecdtion Prevention Guideline: Sanitation (towels, linens, headbands) | Procedure: laundering in hot H2O & detergent, w/bleach/Lysol added to rinse H2O |
Infection Prevention Guideline: Sanitation (your hands prior to each service) | Procedure: washing w/ liquid soap & warm H2O |
Disinfectant Safety/ precautions | 1.Always follow manufacturer's recommendations for mixing,using & check efficacy (using the right disinfectant)2.Always wear gloves & safety glasses when mixing chemicals3.Use tongs, gloves/draining basket to remove implements from disinfectants |
Disinfectant Safety/ precautions (cont.) | 4.Never pour quats, phenols, alcohol/ any other disinfectant over your hands5.Carefully weigh & measure all products to ensure they perform at peak efficiency6.Never place any disinfectant/other product in an unmarked container |
Blood spill procedures (part 1) | 1. stop service & clean area2. apply antiseptic &/liquid or spray styptic w/out contaminating container3.Cover injury w/Band-aid or other appropriate dressing4.Use a finger guard/gloves as appropriate5.Clean client & workstaion as necessary |
Blood spill procedures (part 2) | 6.Discard all disposable contaminated objects. Use bio hazard sticker/container for contaminated waste. Deposit sharp disposables in a sharp box7. Remove your gloves. Wash your hands w/soap & warm H2O before returning to the service |
Blood spill procedures (part 3) | 8. All implements that have come into contact w/blood or body fluids must be disinfected by complete immersion in an EPA-registered, hospital grade disinfectant; kills HIV-1 & Hepatitis B virus/ tuberculocidal disinfectant |
Universal Precautions | 1.Hand washing2. Gloving3. personal protective equipment (goggles)4. injury prevention5. proper handling & disposal of needles, other sharp instruments & products contaminated by blood/ other body fluids |
Life cycle of bacteria/ 2 phases | 1. Active/ Vegetative- grow & reproduce; @ largest size it divides; multiply best in warm, dark, damp/ dirty place 2. Inactive/ spore-forming- bacteria forms a spherical spores; withstand periods of famine, dryness & unsuitable temps. |
What bacteria that is capable of spore-forming | anthrax & tetanus bacilli |
Pathogenic bacteria/ viruses enter the body through? | 1. break in the skin (cut, pimple/ scratch) 2. mouth (contaminated h2o & food) 3. eyes & ears 4. nose (air) 5. unprotected sex |
Body fights infection by? | 1. unbroken skin (body's 1st line of defense) 2. body secretions (perspiration & digestive juices) 3. white cells (w/in blood) 4. antitoxins (counteracts toxin from bacteria) |
What was created as part of U.S Department of Labor to regulate & enforce safety & health standards in workplace? | OSHA- Occupational Safety & Health Administration |
Why OSHA was created & by who? | The U.S Department of Labor to regulate & enforce safety & health standards in workplace |
Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970 | regulating employee exposure to toxic substances & informing them about the danger of materials used in workplace |
3 Levels of decontamination | 1. Sterilization (autoclave) 2. Disinfection (Quats/ Phenol) 3. Sanitation (antiseptics/soap/detergent) |
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard | implements that accidentally come into contact w/blood or body fluids should be cleaned & completely immersed in an EPA-registered "tuberculocidal" |
To be effective, strength of ethyl alcohol must be | @ least 70% |
To be effective, strength of isopropyl alcohol must be | 99% |
True/False: alcohol is a disinfectant in most states | false |
Aseptic Procedure: | 1. Before beginning treatments: on clean towel lay out implements used in service; cover implements & supplies w/clean towel 2. use clean towels, sheets, headband & gown for each client 3. wash & sanitize your hands after touching a client's hair |
Aseptic Procedure: cont. | 4. put gloves at the beginning of every treatment & wear them throughout the treatment (especially during & after extraction, waxing/ electrolysis) 5. Removal of products from container w/out contaminating; best to place in solo cups prior to service |
Aseptic Procedure: cont. | 6. After service: place soiled linens in receptacle; disinfect/sterilize all items to be reused; discard any unused product that has been removed from container 7. Wipe down all surfaces touched during treatment w/disinfectant |
True/False: You should never touch a client's open sore/wound | True; because blood can carry many pathogens |
Ultraviolet (UV) sanitizer | ell not sterilize/disinfect; sometimes referred to sterilizers; metal cabinets that utilize ultraviolet rays to sanitize & store disinfected implements |
UV Rays | invisible, have short wavelengths, least penetrating; known as cold rays/actinic rays; produce some chemical effects, kill some germs |
