b. neither diseases spread by direct nor indirect transmission can live for long periods of time away from a host.
c. diseases spread by indirect transmission can live for long periods of time away from a host whereas those spread by direct transmission cannot.

1. which of the following is true of the indirect transmission of a disease?

a. it occurs by shaking hands with another person.
b. it happens through contact with an intermediate object.
c. it cannot make an individual sick.
d. it occurs by kissing another person.

1. what is the difference between respiratory droplets and airborne transmission?

a. respiratory droplets do not stay in the air as long.
b. airborne transmission involves wetter particles which are therefore less likely to be transmitted.
c. only airborne transmission is guaranteed to make individuals ill.
d. respiratory droplets are smaller particles and therefore more likely to be transmitted.

1. it is not required that disinfectants used in salons and spas must be

a. virucidal
b. fungicidal
c. bactericidal
d. hypoallergenic

1. beauty and wellness professionals must be prepared to deal with all except which of the following types of potentially harmful infectious disease organisms?

a. gases
b. bacteria
c. viruses
d. parasites

Explanation:

1. In direct transmission, the pathogen is passed directly from one host to another without an intermediate object, and pathogens in such cases generally don't survive long away from a host. In indirect transmission, pathogens can survive on intermediate objects for long periods away from a host.
2. Indirect transmission of a disease occurs when a person comes in contact with an intermediate object that has been contaminated by a sick person.
3. Respiratory droplets are larger and don't stay in the air as long as the smaller particles involved in airborne transmission.
4. Disinfectants used in salons and spas need to be virucidal, fungicidal, and bactericidal, but being hypoallergenic is not a requirement for their function as disinfectants.
5. Beauty and wellness professionals need to deal with bacteria, viruses, and parasites which are infectious disease - causing organisms, but gases are not typically considered infectious disease organisms in this context.
