Your Answer:Define the concept of universal precautions.
Universal precautions are a standard set of guidelines to prevent the
transmission of bloodborne pathogens from exposure to blood and
other infectious materials. It means that any and every sample, whether
known or unknown, are to be treated as potentially hazardous
(pathogens) material. BIO 171 M5: Module 5 Exam - Requires RespondusLockDown Browser + Webcam 7/1/22, 9:19 PMM5: Module 5 Exam - Requires Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam: Essential Microbiology with Lab-2021-Martinez

Your Answer:While observing an unknown sample of limited amounts, a researchermust determine the following observations: (1) the presence of anymotility and (2) its Gram status using the same sample—the liquidsample cannot be divided. Which would you determine first and why? You must determine the presence of any motility, prior to determiningits Gram status. Motility requires a wet mount, while gram stainingrequires heat fixing the sample. If we were to start of from the Gramstain, the heat fixation process would kill the organism and not allowingus to observe its motility. The best approach is to place the liquidculture on a glass slide, to determine its motility. Then, use the sameliquid culture to perform the heat fixing and gram staining. You must determine motility before determining the Gramstatus. Motility requires a wet mount, while Gram stainingrequires heat fixing the sample. If one were to begin withthe Gram stain the heat fixation process would kill theorganism, making any observations regarding motilityimpossible. The correct approach would be to place theliquid culture on a glass slide and determine its motilitystatus. Next, the same liquid culture can be heat fixed andGram stained. ptsQuestion 4
