Question 1 of 5

A sanitation worker has experienced a needle stick by a contaminated needle that was placed in a trash can. The employee health nurse expects that which drug will be used to provide passive immunity to hepatitis B infection?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hepatitis B immunoglobulin/antibodies. When a sanitation worker experiences a needle stick with a contaminated needle, there is a risk of hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B immunoglobulin contains antibodies that provide immediate protection by neutralizing the virus. This passive immunity helps prevent the establishment of infection.
A: Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine - This vaccine protects against a different bacteria and is not effective for preventing hepatitis B.
C: Varicella Virus vaccine - This vaccine protects against chickenpox and is irrelevant in this context.
B: Hepatitis B virus vaccine (inactivated) - While this vaccine is effective for prevention, it is not used for immediate post-exposure protection.
In summary, choice D is correct as it provides immediate passive immunity against hepatitis B infection, while the other choices are not suitable for this specific situation.
