Which procedure is one effective way to protect healthcare professionals from a type of infection with a blood-borne pathogen?

Answer
A
vaccination against hepatitis B
B
vaccination against chicken pox
C
washing hands after using the bathroom
D
screening of blood and blood products

Explanation

Hepatitis B is a blood-borne pathogen, and vaccination helps protect healthcare professionals from becoming infected. Chicken pox is not usually spread through blood, handwashing after bathroom use does not specifically prevent blood-borne infection, and screening donated blood primarily protects people who receive blood products.
