Infection Control Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which process will be required after exposure of a nurse to blood by a cut from a used scalpel in the operative area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because after exposure to blood, it is crucial to prioritize the health and safety of both the nurse and the patient. Testing the patient for any bloodborne pathogens and providing treatment to the nurse promptly are necessary steps to assess and mitigate potential risks of infection transmission. Placing the scalpel in a needle safe container (A) is important for proper disposal but does not address the immediate health concerns. Removing sterile gloves (C) and disposing of them in a kick bucket is a standard practice but does not address the potential exposure. Providing a medical evaluation of the nurse to the manager (D) is important but does not address the immediate need for testing and treatment.
