Question 1 of 5
A nurse accidentally sticks her hand with a syringe after administering an IM injection to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take first is to wash the area of the puncture thoroughly with soap and water. This is because immediate cleaning of the wound can help reduce the risk of infection and transmission of any pathogens. Notifying the employee health services or reporting to the charge nurse can come after ensuring personal safety by cleaning the wound. Completing an incident report can also be done after addressing the immediate concern of cleaning the wound. Washing the area is the priority as it directly addresses the potential risk of infection and should be the initial response to an accidental needle stick injury.
