Question 1 of 5
A nurse administered an IM injection to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the risk of a needlestick injury?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dispose of the used needle immediately in a sharps container. This is the safest option to reduce the risk of a needlestick injury because it eliminates any handling of the used needle. Placing a cap holder (
A) or recapping the needle (
B) can actually increase the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Detaching the needle (
