Which of the following is NOT a potential route of transmission of a laboratory acquired infection?
-
Splash from a test tube
-
Animal scratches
-
Needle stick
-
Sexual transmission
Correct Answer
A. Sexual transmissionExplanation
Sexual transmission is not a potential route of transmission of a laboratory acquired infection. Laboratory acquired infections typically occur through accidental exposure to infectious materials in the laboratory setting. Splash from a test tube, animal scratches, and needle sticks are all examples of potential routes of transmission in a laboratory. However, sexual transmission is not a common mode of transmission in this context.Rate this question:

-
Staph. aureus
-
Hepatitis B
-
Syphillis
-
Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Correct Answer
A. Staph. aureusExplanation
Staph. aureus is not a bloodborne pathogen disease because it is a bacterium, not a virus. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms that can be transmitted through blood or other body fluids, such as Hepatitis B, Syphilis, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Staph. aureus is a common bacterium that can cause various infections, but it is not primarily transmitted through blood.Rate this question:

Which of the following bloodborne pathogen diseases has an available, effective vaccine?
-
HIV
-
Hepatitis C
-
Hepatitis B
-
Syphillis
Correct Answer
A. Hepatitis BExplanation
Hepatitis B is the correct answer because there is an available and effective vaccine for this bloodborne pathogen disease. The vaccine for Hepatitis B has been proven to be highly effective in preventing the transmission of the virus and reducing the risk of developing chronic liver disease or liver cancer. It is recommended for all infants, as well as for adults who are at increased risk of exposure to the virus, such as healthcare workers or individuals with multiple sexual partners.Rate this question:

True or False? The risk of contracting HIV after an exposure is greater than the risk of contracting Hepatitis B.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The risk of contracting HIV after an exposure is not greater than the risk of contracting Hepatitis B. Both HIV and Hepatitis B are bloodborne viruses, but HIV is generally considered to be more easily transmitted through sexual contact or sharing needles. Hepatitis B, on the other hand, can be transmitted through various routes including sexual contact, sharing needles, and exposure to infected blood or bodily fluids. Therefore, the risk of contracting Hepatitis B is generally considered to be higher than the risk of contracting HIV.Rate this question:
