OSHA recommends what kind of precautions when handling potentially infectious material?

Universal
Standard
Fundamental
Basic

Explanation

Answer: A - OSHA recommends universal precautions when handling potentially infectious material.
Standard precautions (termed "universal" by OSHA) require that all patients be treated the same and all contaminated material is viewed as potentially infectious. This means that a practitioner would not choose to double-glove to treat a patient known to have a communicable disease. Universal precautions protect the clinician from any possible unknown infectious diseases, as well.
