    Transfer of micro organisms results from direct physical contact is known as ________?

    • Direct transmission

    • Passive transfer

    • Droplet

    • Indirect transmission

    Correct Answer
    A. Direct transmission
    Explanation
    Direct transmission refers to the transfer of microorganisms from one person to another through direct physical contact. This can occur through activities such as touching, kissing, or sexual intercourse. In direct transmission, the microorganisms are directly transferred from the infected person to the susceptible person without any intermediary. This mode of transmission is common for diseases caused by pathogens that can survive outside the body for a short period of time and can be easily transmitted through close contact.

    The passive transfer of an infectious agent to a susceptible host via an intermediate object is known as ________?

    • Indirect transmission

    • Passive transfer

    • Droplet

    • Direct transmission

    Correct Answer
    A. Indirect transmission
    Explanation
    Indirect transmission refers to the passive transfer of an infectious agent to a susceptible host through an intermediate object. This means that the infection is not directly spread from person to person, but rather through objects or surfaces that have been contaminated with the infectious agent. This mode of transmission can occur through various means such as touching contaminated surfaces, sharing contaminated objects, or inhaling airborne particles. Therefore, indirect transmission is the correct term to describe this process.

    Tick the correct definition of 'formites'

    • Anything that can carry infectious germs

    • Things that carry infectious germs in the dental surgery

    • Name of the micro-organisms that cause disease

    • Small parasites that cause disease

    Correct Answer
    A. Anything that can carry infectious germs
    Explanation
    Formites are objects or materials that can carry infectious germs and contribute to the spread of diseases. They can include various items such as clothing, utensils, furniture, and surfaces. By coming into contact with formites, individuals can unknowingly transfer pathogens to themselves or others, leading to the transmission of infectious diseases. Therefore, the correct definition of 'formites' is "anything that can carry infectious germs."

  • 5. 

    Tick from the list below that generates droplets (more than one permitted)

    • Coughing

    • Sneezing

    • Spitting

    • Touching

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Coughing
    A. Sneezing
    A. Spitting
    Explanation
    The actions of coughing, sneezing, and spitting can generate droplets. When a person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets containing respiratory secretions are expelled from their nose or mouth. These droplets can contain infectious pathogens if the person is sick. Similarly, spitting can also produce droplets that may contain saliva or mucus. These droplets can potentially transmit diseases if they come into contact with another person's eyes, nose, or mouth.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    True or False?Airborne organisms can survive outside the body and remain suspended in the air for long periods of time.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Airborne organisms can survive outside the body and remain suspended in the air for long periods of time. This is true because certain microorganisms, such as viruses and bacteria, can be transmitted through the air and remain viable for extended periods. These organisms can be inhaled by individuals, leading to the spread of diseases such as the common cold or flu. Therefore, it is important to take precautions such as wearing masks and practicing good hygiene to minimize the risk of airborne infections.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    From the statements below, which statement is true? 

    • Respiratory droplets are large and are not able to remain suspended in the air thus they are usually dispersed over short distances

    • Respiratory droplets are large and are not able to remain suspended in the air thus they are usually dispersed over long distances

    • Respiratory droplets are small and are able to remain suspended in the air thus they are usually dispersed over short distances

    • Respiratory droplets are small and are able to remain suspended in the air thus they are usually dispersed over long distances

    Correct Answer
    A. Respiratory droplets are large and are not able to remain suspended in the air thus they are usually dispersed over short distances
    Explanation
    Respiratory droplets are large and heavy, which means they cannot stay suspended in the air for a long time. As a result, they tend to disperse over short distances, usually within a few feet from the source. This is why it is important to maintain physical distance from others to minimize the risk of respiratory droplets reaching and infecting others.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    True or False?A droplet nuclei is residue from evaporated droplets suspended in air, containing infective microorganisms 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A droplet nuclei refers to the residue left behind after a droplet containing infective microorganisms evaporates. These droplet nuclei are tiny particles that remain suspended in the air and can potentially transmit infections to others who inhale them. Therefore, the statement that a droplet nuclei is residue from evaporated droplets suspended in air and containing infective microorganisms is true.

    Please tick the components of the "Chain of Infection"

    • Source of infectious agent

    • Mode of transmission

    • Susceptible host

    • Infectious disease

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Source of infectious agent
    A. Mode of transmission
    A. Susceptible host
    Explanation
    The components of the "Chain of Infection" are the source of the infectious agent, the mode of transmission, and the susceptible host. The source of the infectious agent refers to the origin of the pathogen, such as a person, animal, or contaminated object. The mode of transmission is the way in which the pathogen is spread, such as through direct contact, airborne droplets, or contaminated food/water. The susceptible host is an individual who is vulnerable to the infection and can become infected if exposed to the pathogen. The infectious disease is not a component of the chain of infection, but rather the outcome of the transmission of the pathogen to a susceptible host.

    True or False?Standard precautions are applied to those individuals where a risk is identified

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Standard precautions are not applied only to individuals where a risk is identified. Standard precautions are a set of infection control practices that are applied to all patients, regardless of their risk status. These precautions include hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, and proper handling and disposal of sharps. By applying standard precautions to all individuals, healthcare workers can prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and protect both themselves and their patients.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Standard precautions are not required if you follow transmission-based precautions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Standard precautions are a set of infection control practices that should be followed in all healthcare settings to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. These precautions include hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, and proper handling and disposal of sharps. Transmission-based precautions, on the other hand, are additional measures that are taken when a patient is known or suspected to be infected with a specific pathogen that requires additional precautions to prevent its spread. Therefore, standard precautions are still necessary even if transmission-based precautions are being followed.
