Answer:5)HIV is transmitted through close contact with a body fluid that contains the virus or cells infected with the virus (such as blood, semen, or vaginal fluids). HIV destroys certain types of white blood cells, weakening the body's defenses against infections and cancers.

6)The activities of athletes and personnel who provide their medical care may place them at slightly greater risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than their nonathletic peers. At this point, there is no reason to disallow participation of athletes who are HIV-infected

7)Most important, physicians can educate athletes, coaches, and trainers to practice "safe" athletics and medical care to minimize the risks of exposure to and transmission of HIV. Testing for HIV can be encouraged for athletes who may be at risk and should be done for any athlete who specifically requests it.

8)OSHA states, “According to the concept of Universal Precautions, all human blood and certain human body fluids are treated as if known to be infectious for HIV, HBV, and other bloodborne pathogens.” Universal precautions include vigorously washing hands before and after exposure to blood and other body fluids.

9) In the most severe example, arterial bleeding should initially be treated by placing direct pressure over the site of the wound with a gloved hand and sterile gauze 4 X 4 if available.

10)The five types of wounds are abrasion, avulsion, incision, laceration, and puncture. An abrasion is a wound caused by friction when a body scrapes across a rough surface. An avulsion is characterized by a flap. An incision is a cut with clean edges.

11)

1)Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.

2)Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap.

3)Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.

4)Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

A) Changes in cell shape, size, and organization

Explanation:

Changes in cell shape, size and organisation suggests that a population of cells have changed identity.

These are indicative of tumorigenesis and potential pre-cancerous cells.
