Read the first 7 Safety & Infection Control flashcards as text

  1. A client discloses they are HIV-positive before an AK assessment. How should the practitioner adjust their approach?

    Answer: Apply standard precautions as with every client

    Standard precautions are designed to be applied universally regardless of known infection status, providing consistent protection.

  2. Which of the following is the correct order of steps when removing contaminated gloves?

    Answer: Peel first glove from outside, ball it in second gloved hand, slip fingers under second glove cuff and peel off over first

    The proper technique keeps the contaminated outer surface contained inside the removed gloves, preventing hand contamination.

  3. What is the recommended alcohol concentration in hand sanitizers for effective reduction of most pathogens in clinical settings?

    Answer: 60–95%

    Hand sanitizers with 60–95% alcohol concentration are effective against most pathogens encountered in clinical practice.

  4. Which of the following best describes 'source control' as an infection prevention strategy in a clinical setting?

    Answer: Having symptomatic individuals wear masks to reduce pathogen dispersal

    Source control involves masking or isolating the infectious individual to reduce the emission of pathogens into the environment.

  5. A practitioner accidentally splashes a client's blood into their eyes. What is the immediate first step?

    Answer: Flush the eyes with water or saline for at least 15 minutes

    Immediate flushing of the eyes with water or saline for at least 15 minutes dilutes and removes potentially infectious material.

  6. In applied kinesiology practice, which surface cleaning sequence is recommended to prevent cross-contamination between clients?

    Answer: Clean from least contaminated to most contaminated areas

    Cleaning from least to most contaminated areas prevents spreading pathogens from heavily contaminated zones to cleaner ones.

  7. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is classified as which type of pathogen requiring enhanced precautions?

    Answer: Contact precaution pathogen requiring gloves and gown

    MRSA is transmitted primarily through direct contact and requires contact precautions including gloves and gown in addition to standard precautions.
