Question

A blood–borne pathogen training class might include which of procedures listed below? Check all of the boxes that apply.

proper disposal of used needles

when and how to use gloves and masks

how to be protected from a patient’s cough

how to identify pathogens in blood samples

Answer 1

Select:
- proper disposal of used needles
- when and how to use gloves and masks

Brief explanation:
Bloodborne pathogen training focuses on preventing exposure via blood and other potentially infectious materials — safe sharps disposal, PPE use, cleanup and decontamination, exposure reporting, and hepatitis B vaccination are typical topics. Protection from a patient’s cough is a droplet/airborne precaution (not a primary bloodborne topic). Identifying pathogens in blood samples is laboratory diagnostic work and not part of routine employee training.
