Under “universal precautions,” individuals who come into contact with blood or body fluids should do all of the following EXCEPT:
  1. Wear gloves
  2. Use a protective barrier device during CPR
  3. Dispose of heavily soiled items in trash
  4. Wash hands immediately afterwards
Explanation
Answer: C - Almost all facilities have specific standards for disposing of contaminated items. Typically, the item is to be placed in a specially marked biohazard bags and placed in special bins or containers and not in the trash. If there is no biohazard bag available, the items should be placed in a sealable bag and double bagged if possible. No matter what conditions are like, any individual exposed to blood or body fluids should wash his or her hands thoroughly, even if gloves were worn.
