Question 1 of 5
Should standard precautions be used when providing post mortem care to a patient who has died from a massive heart attack and had no other diseases, illnesses, or infections?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Yes, you must still use standard precautions when providing post mortem care, regardless of the patient's medical history. Standard precautions are essential to prevent the transmission of potential infectious agents and protect both the healthcare provider and others from exposure. Even if the patient did not have known infections, it is crucial to maintain a safe environment and uphold professional standards of care.
Choice A is incorrect as using standard precautions is primarily for infection control rather than solely for respect.
Choices C and D are incorrect as the absence of infections or the notion of respect does not negate the need for standard precautions in post mortem care.
