Reducing Medical Errors — Unit test

Question 23 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

A hospital is evaluating its use of prevention methods for reducing worker exposure to blood-borne illnesses. The hospital uses many methods of disinfection and sterilization and labels every biohazard material appropriately. All employees are trained in first aid prevention and in how to clean up bodily fluids appropriately. What is missing from the hospital’s plan?

Answer
A
safety training
B
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
C
sharps disposal containers
D
health insurance

Explanation

The hospital already disinfects and sterilizes materials, labels biohazards, and trains employees in prevention and cleanup. A key additional measure is providing sharps disposal containers so needles and other sharp items can be discarded safely and do not cause injuries that expose workers to blood-borne illnesses.
