Question

a healthcare professional who is infected with hiv or hbv should not perform procedures that might expose the patient to the disease without advice from a(n):

expert review panel.
malpractice attorney.
patient advice panel.
healthcare administrator.

Explanation:

The question is about a healthcare professional with HIV/HBV needing advice before performing risky procedures. An expert review panel would consist of medical experts who can provide appropriate guidance on such medical - related decisions. A malpractice attorney deals with legal issues related to medical malpractice, not medical advice for procedures. A patient advice panel is focused on patient - centered advice, not on advising healthcare professionals about their own infectious status and procedures. A healthcare administrator is more involved in management, not providing medical advice for this specific situation.

Answer:

A. expert review panel.
