The option that is NOT a universal precaution followed by health care workers is:
**b - Wrapping a wound with sterile gauze.**
Universal precautions focus on the assumption that all blood and body fluids are potentially infectious, and while wound care is important, wrapping a wound itself is not strictly classified under universal precautions. The other options (using a mouthpiece during rescue breathing, washing hands after giving first aid, and wearing sterile gloves) are standard practices within universal precautions.
