Explanation
Answer: A - The risk for sharps injuries is the greatest during lengthy procedures. Lengthy procedures tend to be more complex than less lengthy procedures, thus the risk is greater during these procedures. Other high risk factors that threaten workplace safety relating to sharps are procedures associated with high volumes of blood and the presence of many healthcare workers in close proximity.
