A nursing assistant needs to dispose of chemicals that were used during a patient’s cancer treatments. Which would best inform the nursing assistant about proper disposal?

The material safety data sheet (MSDS) provides information about a chemical’s hazards, safe handling, and disposal requirements. That makes it the best source for determining how to dispose of chemicals used during cancer treatments. The CDC and OSHA provide broader health and workplace-safety guidance, while standard precautions address infection prevention rather than chemical disposal.
