Explanation:

Identify vaccine-preventable bloodborne pathogen

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the only bloodborne pathogen listed for which a highly effective vaccine is widely available and routinely recommended for healthcare workers.

Determine HIV transmission risk action

HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or body fluids. Touching blood-contaminated glass without gloves allows direct contact with infectious material through potential micro-cuts or compromised skin barriers.

Select PPE for nose and mouth protection

A mask is designed specifically to protect the nose and mouth from splashes, sprays, or droplets of blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM).

Determine first step for handling contaminated waste

The image is cropped at the bottom, but standard safety protocols dictate that the first step when encountering blood or body fluids on the floor is to secure the area, put on appropriate PPE (gloves), or report/contain the spill before disposal.
