Sanitation & Disinfection

QuestionAnswer
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
