Matching
Match each term with the correct definition.
11.
A. Bloodborne pathogens
B. Hepatitis B
C. HIV
D. Virus
E. Bacteria
F. Hepatitis C
____ Common form of pathogen that can live
outside the body and commonly do not
depend on other organisms for life. An-tibiotics
are used to treat infection.

are attacked and the body’s ability to fight
infection is destroyed.
____Common form of pathogen that depends
on other organisms to live and once in the
body is difficult to kill.
____ Bacteria and viruses present in blood and
body fluids
____ A liver infection that can be severe or
even fatal. A vaccine is the most effective
means of prevention.
____ The most common chronic bloodborne infection
in the United States. There is no
available treatment or vaccine.
12.
A. Universal precautions
B. OSHA regulations and guidelines

___ Measures that isolate or remove a hazard from the workplace. The things used in the
workplace to help reduce the risk of an exposure incident.
___ Practices that help reduce the likelihood of exposure by changing the way a task is car-ried
out. The things employees do to help reduce the risk of an exposure incident.
___ Treating all blood and other potentially infectious materials as if they are known to be
infectious.
___ A written program that outlines the protective measures an employer will take to elimi-nate
or minimize exposure incidents.
___ Apply to employees who may come into contact with blood or other body fluids that
could cause an infection and help employers meet the bloodborne pathogen standard to
prevent transmission of serious diseases.
___ Consider all blood and body fluids to be infectious.
