Bloodborne Pathogens For Tattooing And Body Piercing - Quiz

This is an actual test given for bloodborne pathogens certifications

Questions and Answers

1.

Workers in many different occupations are at potential risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, or BBP's. Employees whose duties include providing first aid, housekeeping, medical laboratory activities, and patient healthcare have a higher risk of exposure, than employees in other fields
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Workers in occupations such as providing first aid, housekeeping, medical laboratory activities, and patient healthcare are at a higher risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens (BBP's). This is because these occupations involve direct contact with bodily fluids and potentially contaminated materials. Other fields may have a lower risk of exposure to BBP's as they do not involve these specific tasks. Therefore, the statement that workers in these occupations have a higher risk of exposure to BBP's is true.

Bloodborne Pathogens are micro-organisms that are not present in blood or other potentially infectious materials and only cause disease in animals.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Bloodborne Pathogens are micro-organisms that are present in blood or other potentially infectious materials and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C. It is important to take precautions and follow proper safety measures to prevent the transmission of these pathogens in healthcare settings or any other environment where there is a risk of exposure to blood or bodily fluids.

3.

Certain Bodily fluids or tissues that may contain bloodborne pathogens, such as: semen and vaginal secretions; bodily fluids such as spinal fluid and amniotic fluid or any bodily fluids visibly contaminated with blood are referred to as ______________.
- A.
  
  Other people's infected materials
- B.
  
  Other potentially infectious materials
- C.
  
  Bloodborne Pathogenic Tissues
- D.
  
  Biomedical hazardous waste materials
Correct Answer
D. Biomedical hazardous waste materials

Explanation
The correct answer is "Biomedical hazardous waste materials." This term refers to bodily fluids or tissues that may contain bloodborne pathogens and are considered hazardous waste due to the potential risk of infection. These materials need to be handled and disposed of properly to prevent the spread of diseases.

4.

Your company's ________________ includes policies and procedures which are designed to eliminate your risk of exposure to BBP's at work.
- A.
  
  Hazard Communication Plan
- B.
  
  Exposure Control Plan
- C.
  
  Blood and Blood Product Plan
- D.
  
  Medical Leave Plan
Correct Answer
C. Blood and Blood Product Plan

Explanation
The correct answer is "Exposure Control Plan." This plan is designed to eliminate the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens (BBP's) at work. It includes policies and procedures that outline how to prevent and control the transmission of BBP's, such as using personal protective equipment, practicing proper hygiene, and implementing safe work practices. The Blood and Blood Product Plan mentioned in the options is not relevant to the given statement and does not address the risk of exposure to BBP's.

The main bloodborne pathogens of concern in the BBP Standard are the hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C Virus, and HIV, which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because the main bloodborne pathogens of concern in the BBP Standard are indeed the hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV. These pathogens can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids, and they pose significant health risks. Hepatitis B and C can cause liver damage and potentially lead to chronic infection, while HIV can weaken the immune system and develop into AIDS. Therefore, it is important to take necessary precautions to prevent the transmission of these pathogens.

The hepatitis B virus can survive outside the body for more than ____ days in a dry state on a surface for instance, a countertop, tool, or a discarded hypodermic needle.
- A.
  
  0, it cannot survive outside the body
- B.
  
  365
- C.
  
  7
- D.
  
  30
Correct Answer
D. 30

Explanation
The correct answer is 30. The hepatitis B virus can survive outside the body for up to 30 days in a dry state on a surface such as a countertop, tool, or a discarded hypodermic needle. This means that proper precautions should be taken to disinfect and dispose of any potentially contaminated items to prevent the spread of the virus.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

Most people that are infected with either of the Hepatitis viruses do not exhibit symptoms and therefore cannot be identified without performing a blood test.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that most people infected with Hepatitis viruses do not show symptoms and cannot be identified without a blood test. However, this statement is incorrect. While it is true that some people infected with hepatitis may not show symptoms, many individuals do exhibit symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is possible to identify hepatitis infections even without a blood test based on the presence of symptoms.

Rate this question:
9.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV is transmitted through blood to blood contact, and the virus does not survive outside the body; therefore casual contact does not pose a threat of infection.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
HIV is transmitted through blood to blood contact, meaning that it can be spread through activities such as sharing needles or having unprotected sex. However, the virus does not survive outside the body, so casual contact such as hugging, shaking hands, or sharing utensils does not pose a risk of infection. Therefore, the statement is true.
