These are not a natural barrier against pathogens.
A.
Skin and mucous membrames of nose, throat, urethra, rectum
B.
Stomach acid, tears urine
C.
Nails
D.
Acidity of vaginal secretions
Correct Answer
C. Nails
Explanation Nails are not a natural barrier against pathogens because they are made of dead cells and do not have any active defense mechanisms. Unlike the skin and mucous membranes in the nose, throat, urethra, and rectum, which have protective layers and produce mucus to trap and eliminate pathogens, nails do not possess any such properties. Therefore, they are not effective in preventing the entry of pathogens into the body.

Stages of HIV infections
_________stage: 1 to 2 weeks massive replication patient may be asymptomatidc or have a flu-like syndrome
__________________ HIV: 10 to ______ years
__________________HIV: ______________ cells below ____________late stages
_________________ HIV : ______________ cells below ______________
Explanation In the acute stage of HIV infection, which lasts for approximately 1 to 2 weeks, there is massive replication of the virus in the patient's body. During this stage, the patient may either be asymptomatic or experience flu-like symptoms.

C
D.
D
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation The correct answer is d because it follows a logical sequence of steps to be taken if bleeding occurs during cupping. First, the practitioner should gather gloves and cleaning materials to ensure proper hygiene. Then, they should put on gloves to protect themselves. Next, they should remove the cups carefully to prevent the spread of body fluids. After that, they should apply appropriate pressure to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding has been stopped, they can clean up any bleeding that has occurred. Finally, they should handle and dispose of all materials used as biohazardous waste and sterilize the cups using a double sterilization procedure.

Match the correct definition
a) delivers moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure. The sudden drop of pressure at the end of the cycle breaks down the cell walls of resistant spores. it is critical that a pressurized steam bath is maintained at 250 degrees F, 15 pounds pressure for 30 min. The pressure must be released quickly at the end of the sterilization process
b) sterilizers provide heat air without steam pressure. They requiere a longer sterilization time, 2 hous of exposure at 338 degrees F.
c) For the protection of the practitioners and staff, used needles and other contaminated equipment should have preliminary sterilization immediately after use. Instruments should be soaked in a chemical disinfectant for the preliminary sterilization. Final sterilization must be done after reusable and other equipment be inspected carefully following the first sterilization, glove should be worm during this procedure, and instruments should be soaked in water with or without detergent to loosen any material that may remain, wiped carefully and rinsed thoroughly.
