    HCV has an incubation period of

    • 2 weeks

    • 4 weeks

    • 7 weeks

    • 12 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. 7 weeks
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7 weeks because the incubation period of HCV, which stands for Hepatitis C Virus, is typically around 7 weeks. During this period, the virus replicates in the body and may not show any symptoms. After the incubation period, symptoms may start to appear, such as fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain. It is important to note that the incubation period can vary from person to person, ranging from 2 to 26 weeks.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    HIV has an incubation period of

    • 2 weeks

    • 4 weeks

    • 7 weeks

    • 12 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 weeks
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 12 weeks because HIV has a variable incubation period, which refers to the time between initial infection and the appearance of detectable antibodies in the blood. On average, it takes about 12 weeks or 3 months for HIV antibodies to develop and become detectable through standard testing methods. However, it is important to note that this period can vary from person to person, and in some cases, it may take longer for antibodies to be detectable. Therefore, it is recommended to get retested if there is a possibility of HIV exposure within the last 3 months, even if the initial test result is negative.

    Who is required to review OSHA Bloodborne Standards?

    • Employees who are routinely exposed to blood and other OPIMs.

    • Employees who periodically are exposed to blood and other OPIMs.

    • Employees who may reasonably expect to be exposed to blood and other OPIMs.

    • Employees who have been exposed to blood and other OPIMs at least five times.

    Correct Answer
    A. Employees who may reasonably expect to be exposed to blood and other OPIMs.
    Explanation
    Employees who may reasonably expect to be exposed to blood and other OPIMs are required to review OSHA Bloodborne Standards. This means that any employee who could potentially come into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials should be familiar with the OSHA standards to ensure their safety and the safety of others. It is important for all employees to be knowledgeable about these standards, regardless of the frequency of exposure.

    Blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and semen are body fluids that can carry bloodborne pathogens.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and semen are body fluids that can carry bloodborne pathogens. Blood is a well-known carrier of bloodborne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Lymph, which is a clear fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system, can also carry these pathogens. Cerebrospinal fluid, found in the brain and spinal cord, can transmit certain infections like meningitis. Semen, the fluid that contains sperm, can transmit sexually transmitted infections like HIV and gonorrhea. Therefore, it is true that these body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens.

    The OSHA Bloodborne Standard requires uniforms, laundry bags, rooms, cabinets, and refrigerators to have biohazard labels when blood and OPIMs are being handled or processed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The OSHA Bloodborne Standard is a set of regulations that aim to protect workers from exposure to bloodborne pathogens. According to this standard, when handling or processing blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIMs), certain items such as uniforms, laundry bags, rooms, cabinets, and refrigerators must be labeled with biohazard labels. This is to ensure that workers are aware of the potential hazards and take necessary precautions to prevent exposure. Therefore, the statement "The OSHA Bloodborne Standard requires uniforms, laundry bags, rooms, cabinets, and refrigerators to have biohazard labels when blood and OPIMs are being handled or processed" is true.

    HBV cannot be transmitted by sexual activity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    HBV can be transmitted through sexual activity. This is because the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be present in the blood, semen, and vaginal fluids of an infected person. Therefore, engaging in unprotected sexual activity with an infected individual can lead to the transmission of HBV. It is important to practice safe sex and use barrier methods such as condoms to reduce the risk of transmission.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Prescription eyeglasses count as PPE.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Prescription eyeglasses do not count as personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE refers to equipment or clothing that is specifically designed to protect the wearer from potential hazards in the workplace. While prescription eyeglasses may provide vision correction, they are not intended to protect against physical or chemical hazards. PPE typically includes items such as safety goggles, helmets, gloves, and masks, which are designed to provide a barrier against potential risks. Therefore, the statement that prescription eyeglasses count as PPE is false.
