Sample Questions
Question
1
Which action must be done before vacuuming when dealing with bed bugs?
Explanation:
Before vacuuming, use hot steam cleaning. The heat from steam kills bed bugs on contact and also reaches into cracks, seams, and fabric folds where they hide. This hot treatment reduces the number of live bugs and loosens eggs and debris, making vacuuming far more effective. If you vacuum first, you risk scattering live bugs and eggs to other areas and may not remove those hidden in crevices. After steaming, vacuum thoroughly to remove dead bugs and any loosened eggs, then proceed with laundering or other treatments as needed.
Question
2
Which statement about reducing smog levels is true?
Explanation:
Reducing smog levels comes from lowering emissions from the main sources people can influence: transportation and fossil-fuel powered equipment. Using public transportation cuts the number of vehicles on the road, reducing overall emissions per person and easing the load of pollutants that form smog. Looking for alternatives to gas-powered machines and vehicles helps eliminate emissions from lawn and garden tools, generators, and other equipment that run on fossil fuels. Considering fuel efficiency when buying a vehicle lowers emissions per mile by using fuel more efficiently. Each of these actions targets a different part of the pollution picture, so combining them yields the biggest impact on smog. Therefore, doing all of the above is the most effective approach.
Question
3
What should you do with items that cannot be cleaned during bed bug treatment?
Explanation:
When bed bugs can’t be effectively cleaned from an item, discard it to prevent re-infestation. Bed bugs hide in seams, stuffing, and hidden corners, and some items can’t be treated thoroughly or safely. Keeping or reusing such items risks surviving bugs that can quickly reinfest the home, while donating could spread pests to others, and storing the item in an attic doesn’t remove the problem. The practical move is to remove the uncleanable item from the living space and dispose of it according to local guidelines, so the treatment can succeed and the infestation won’t rebound.
Question
4
Hepatitis A is transmitted by which route?
Explanation:
Hepatitis A is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This means the virus is shed in the feces of an infected person and can enter another person if contaminated food or water is consumed, or if hands contaminated with fecal material touch food or objects that are then eaten. It’s commonly linked to poor sanitation, contaminated water, or foods like shellfish handled by someone who hasn’t practiced good hygiene. It is not spread through the air, via blood, or by insect vectors, which is why those other transmission routes don’t apply.
Question
5
Which tick is commonly associated with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever?
Explanation:
RMSF is transmitted to humans mainly by Dermacentor ticks, with the Rocky Mountain wood tick being the classic and most commonly associated vector. This tick, found in the Rocky Mountain region, has long been linked to RMSF cases, making it the best answer. While other ticks can carry the organism in certain outbreaks, they are not as consistently tied to RMSF as the Rocky Mountain wood tick. Transmission typically requires prolonged feeding, so avoiding tick exposure and promptly removing attached ticks reduces the risk.
