| What role does laboratory bio-safety play in laboratory quality assurance? | an integral component of the overall laboratory quality assurance policy | They are involved in confirmation of etiological diagnosis during outbreaks and in prevention and control of diseases by keeping a watch on existing as well as emerging and re-emerging pathogens and environmental monitoring. Laboratory bio-safety is an integral component of the overall laboratory quality assurance policy. An integrated approach to laboratory bio-safety, including containment of microbiological agents and toxins, safe handling and transport need to be an essential ingredient of all preparedness plans so as to minimize the possibility of laboratory acquired infections and resultant spread to the community, and promote public health. | 250 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | Laboratory bio-safety is an integral component of the overall laboratory quality assurance policy. | 5 | page=5,block=2 | 0.850 | valid |
| What assumption does the practice of universal precautions make about blood and body fluids? | potentially infectious for HIV, HBV, HCV and other blood borne pathogens | Universal precautions It refers to precautions consistently used for all patients regardless of their blood borne Infection status. Under universal precautions, blood and body fluids of all patients are considered potentially infectious for HIV, HBV, HCV and other blood borne pathogens. 1.2.4. Universal precautions: One of the fundamental principles of a biosafety program is the adherence to the practice of precaution. This may be defined as the minimal standard of work performance to prevent the exposure to pathogenic agents; and includes education, personal protective equipment, hand washing, and employing safe work practices .It requires the individual to assume the material infectitious and to act accordingly. Barrier Protection should be used at all time to prevent skin and mucous membrane contaminated with blood and body fluid. | 214 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | Under universal precautions, blood and body fluids of all patients are considered potentially infectious for HIV, HBV, HCV and other blood borne pathogens. | 7 | |||

| What does 'Universal Precautions' mean in a healthcare context? | precautions consistently used for all patients regardless of their blood borne infection status. | GLOSSARY Autoinoculation - means self inflicted injury while handling sharp objects like needles etc. Biomedical waste- Waste material generated in the hospital during diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biosafety cabinet -cabinet designed to protect the operator, laboratory environment and work material from exposure to infectious aerosol. Disinfection –destruction of vegetative forms of organisms which may or may not be pathogenic. Sterilization - destruction of all forms of organisms including spores. Personal protective equipment- the equipment worn by health care workers in order to Safe guard themselves when ever dealing with infectious material. Universal Precautions- refers to precautions consistently used for all patients regardless of their blood borne infection status. - | 695 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | Universal Precautions- refers to precautions consistently used for all patients regardless of their blood borne infection status. - | 4 | page=4,block=1 | ||
| What does the 'Cradle to grave' concept of waste management entail? | management at every step from generation, segregation, collection, transportation, storage, and treatment to final disposal | Every hospital should have a waste management programme Waste survey is an important part of the waste management programme and helps in determining both the type and quantity of waste being generated in the hospital including the laboratory and determine the feasible methods of disposal. 5.2. Principles of waste management The "Cradle to grave" concept of waste management • Segregation of wastes into the prescribed categories must be done at the source i.e. at the point of generation. • Hospital/ laboratory waste requires management at every step from generation, segregation, collection, transportation, storage, and treatment to final disposal. | 529 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | • Hospital/ laboratory waste requires management at every step from generation, segregation, collection, transportation, storage, and treatment to final disposal. | 42 | page=42,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the cleaning process aim to eliminate from an object? | foreign material (e.g. soil, organic material, micro- organisms) | CHAPTER -4 Sterilization and Disinfection Procedures Definition Cleaning is a process which removes foreign material (e.g. soil, organic material, micro- organisms) from an object. Disinfection is a process which reduces the number of pathogenic micro-organisms, but not necessarily bacterial spores from inanimate objects or skin. Disinfectants used should be in proper concentration and for suitable period of time which will be effective against all the organism. High level disinfection is often used for a process which kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Enteroviruses in addition to other vegetative bacteria, fungi and more sensitive viruses. Sterilization is a process which destroys all micro-organisms including bacterial spores. The level of decontamination should be such that there is no risk for infection when using the equipment. 4. | 100 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | CHAPTER -4 Sterilization and Disinfection Procedures Definition Cleaning is a process which removes foreign material (e.g. soil, organic material, micro- organisms) from an object. | 30 | |||

| What does the term 'Laboratory bio-safety' refer to? | the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release | General Principles of Biosafety and Code of Practice 1. What is Bio-Safety? “Laboratory bio-safety” is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release. Bio-safety protection is to protect laboratory workers, clinical samples and the environment Diagnostic and health-care laboratories (public health, clinical or hospital-based) must all be designed for at least Bio-safety Level 2 or above if required. As no laboratory has complete control over the specimens it receives, standard precautions should always be adopted and practiced. 1. Code of Practice This code is a listing of the most essential laboratory practices and procedures that are basic to good microbiological techniques. | 129 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769332933_File572.pdf | What is Bio-Safety? “Laboratory bio-safety” is the term used to describe the containment principles, technologies and practices that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to pathogens and toxins, or their accidental release. | ||||
