Which statement is a requirement when managing exposure to blood borne pathogens?
  1. Techs should receive training in handling occupational exposure if there is a risk of coming in contact with blood borne pathogens.
  2. Food and drink should be kept on a separate table in the operating suite, away from the patient.
  3. A contaminated needle should be carefully recapped before placing it in a biohazard container.
  4. Employers are required to provide measures for hand hygiene practices.
Explanation
Answer: D-Employers are required to provide measures for hand hygiene practices. If employees are expected to wash their hands to protect themselves from blood borne pathogens, employers are mandated to provide materials for them, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Food and drink should be separate from operative procedures and not in the same room, and contaminated needles should never be recapped to reduce risk of injury. All healthcare personnel should receive training on exposure to blood borne pathogens.
