Question 1 of 5

A home health nurse is teaching a client who has diabetes mellitus about proper home disposal of syringes. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Put the cap on the syringe before placing it in a trash can. This instruction helps prevent accidental needle sticks and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. By placing the cap on the syringe, the needle is safely enclosed, reducing the risk of injury to others handling the trash. This method follows standard safety practices for disposing of sharps containers.

Choice B is incorrect as metal coffee cans are not designed for safe disposal of syringes, increasing the risk of needle stick injuries.
Choice C is incorrect as resealable bags may not provide adequate protection against needle sticks for trash handlers.
Choice D is incorrect as breaking the needle off can result in needle stick injuries and is not recommended for safe disposal.
