Microbes and Microorganisms Quiz

100 times smaller than 90 microns

By viewing them up close with light and electron microscopes

To culture the microbes until they grow into a detectable form

Unevenness of device surfaces

Sterilization process

Viewing with light and electron microscopes = Close-up observation of microbes Culturing the microbes = Growing microbes into detectable form Cleaning reusable medical devices = Removing dirt, soil, and bacteria Disinfection process on a needle = Killing remaining microbes

Sterilization process = Killing all remaining microbes Decontamination process = Removing all microbes Microbes on a needle = Two microns long bacteria Microscopic organisms = Detected by viewing up close or culturing

Specialist training and equipment = Required for detecting microscopic organisms Unevenness of reusable medical device surfaces = Making it difficult to clean properly Presence of microscopic organisms = Detected by specialist microbiologists Detecting all microbes visually = Impossible during decontamination processes

Cleaning the needle = Removing dirt, soil, and bacteria Disinfection process = Killing as many remaining microbes as possible Sterilization process = Killing all remaining microbes Viewing the tip under higher magnification = Observing large numbers of bacteria

90 microns = Thickness of a human hair Two microns = Length of bacteria on a needle 100 times smaller than the smallest = Size comparison of microbes Invisible to the naked eye = Characteristic of microbes

Viewing with light and electron microscopes = Visual detection of microscopic organisms Culturing the microbes until they grow into a detectable form = Detection of microbial presence through growth Disinfection process = Killing remaining microbes on a needle Sterilization process = Complete elimination of remaining microbes on a needle

Microbes = Microscopic organisms present on or in hands, water, air, and working environment Decontamination processes = Processes to remove microbes and ensure cleanliness Microbiologists = Specialists who detect and study microscopic organisms Client-side scripting for web applications = Purpose of JavaScript programming language

Presence of microscopic organisms = Detected by viewing with light and electron microscopes or culturing Unevenness of reusable medical device surfaces = Difficulty in proper cleaning of reusable medical devices Dirt and microbes resisting removal = Result of surface imperfections and crevices on reusable medical devices Specialist training and equipment = Requirements for detecting and studying microscopic organisms

90 microns = Approximate thickness of a human hair Two microns long = Size of bacteria sticking to a needle 100 times smaller than that = Size comparison of the smallest microbes to larger objects Invisible to the naked eye = Characteristic of microbes

Cleaning to remove dirt, soil, and bacteria = Initial step to remove contaminants from a needle Disinfection process = Killing as many remaining microbes as possible on a needle Sterilization process = Complete elimination of remaining microbes on a needle Detection of all microbes visually = Impossibility during decontamination processes
