Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to dispose of a needle after administering an intramuscular injection to a client who has hepatitis C. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dispose of the needle uncapped. This is the safest option to prevent accidental needlestick injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis C. Recapping the needle increases the risk of needlestick injuries. Asking another nurse to recap or sliding the needle into the cap can also result in accidental injuries. It is crucial to always dispose of needles in a sharps container immediately after use to ensure safety for both the healthcare provider and others.
