Using a telephone with a cord or a cell phone outdoors during a lightning storm is dangerous.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Using a telephone with a cord or a cell phone outdoors during a lightning storm is dangerous because both corded and cell phones can conduct electricity. When lightning strikes, it can travel through telephone lines and electrical wires, potentially causing harm to anyone using the phone. Additionally, being outdoors during a lightning storm increases the risk of being struck by lightning, and using a phone increases the chances of being injured if lightning does strike nearby. Therefore, it is important to avoid using phones with cords or cell phones outdoors during a lightning storm to minimize the risk of injury or electrocution.

Part 1: Bloodborne Pathogens Today’s training will be about standard precautions. We will learn about the use and disposal of sharps, procedures regarding exposure incidents, food service practices, disposing of regulated waste and the spread of disease as well as other related topics. According to the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) government website, bloodborne pathogens are defined as pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Bloodborne pathogens spread from person to person through indirect or direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids. Direct contact transmission occurs when infected blood enters another person’s body. It could be in contact with someone’s nose, eyes, mouth or an open sore. Indirect contact is achieved through some intervening medium. Transmission can occur by, for example, a person with an open sore touching a used Band-Aid. You can obtain more information about modes of transmission in Policy C-7: Policy and Procedure for Communicable Disease and Infection Control. OSHA specifically outlines the rules for four diseases of a bloodborne nature; HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, HIV or human immunodeficiency virus is the virus which can lead to AIDS. HIV finds and kills white blood cells which help fight off disease. AIDS or acquired immune deficiency syndrome is actually the last stage of the HIV infection. Hepatitis is generally a liver disease. To date, more and more hepatitis viruses are being found. While many people know of the Hepatitis A, B and C viruses, did you know there is also a D, E, F, and G virus? Many of the later viruses can be related to the initial viruses found but are indeed their own viruses with their own issues, some of which have no cure or treatment. The Hepatitis B virus can cause cancer, liver failure and ultimately lead to death in some cases. In our line of work as a direct care workers, needle sticks are the most common form of bloodborne exposure, generally reaching between 600 and 800 thousand sticks per year. As indicated in Policy C-7, we do not recap or bend used needles. They are to be placed immediately into a sharps container. Communicable diseases are diseases that can spread between two people such as measles, athlete’s foot and the flu. We want to prevent the spread of these diseases in any way we can and rely on medical professionals for diagnosis and suggestions for prevention. Some general rules to prevent spreading disease are to cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze, wash your hands frequently, but especially after coughing or being coughed or sneezed upon by others, use a mask in certain cases.
