Explanation:

Analyze Question 9

The scenario describes an exposure incident where Norman's blood comes into contact with a cut on Scotty's finger. After immediate first aid (washing hands with soap and water), the next protocol step is to report the exposure incident to a supervisor.

Analyze Question 11

A bloodborne pathogen exposure incident involves contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Sharing a razor with another person is a direct route of exposure due to potential micro-cuts and blood transfer.

Analyze Question 12

To protect yourself from bloodborne pathogen exposure when handling a used, sharp lancet, the primary barrier precaution is to put on gloves.

Analyze Question 13

Standard infection control protocols dictate that hand hygiene must be performed immediately after removing gloves to eliminate any pathogens that may have penetrated or contaminated the hands during removal.

Analyze Question 14

Standard precautions are infection prevention practices that apply to all patients/individuals, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status, in any healthcare setting. Therefore, they are used with everyone all of the time.

Gloves must be worn when handling soiled linens or laundry to prevent contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions.
