Which of the following events would likely require staff to write up an incident report? Check all that apply.

Incident reports document unexpected events such as accidents, injuries, or workplace exposures. A patient falling while getting out of a hospital bed is an unexpected safety event, and a nurse being stuck with a needle at work is an occupational exposure that must be reported. A positive HIV test and a sprained knee the patient already had on arrival are medical conditions, not incidents that occurred during care.
