Question
which of the following most accurately describes the two main sources of bloodborne pathogens?
a. blood and sweat
b. blood and other potentially infectious material (opim)
c. human cell tissue and other potentially infectious material (opim)
d. blood and body fluids
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease in humans when present in blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM). Sweat is not a significant source of bloodborne pathogens. Human cell tissue alone is not one of the two main sources. While body fluids can be a source, the key pair is blood and OPIM as defined in safety and health guidelines regarding bloodborne pathogens.
