Question

what is the first step you should take if you come into contact with body fluid? a. flush the area with water. b. wash with soap and water. c. notify your supervisor. d. take time off of work.

Explanation:

When coming into contact with body fluid, the first - aid measure is to immediately flush the area with water to remove as much of the body fluid as possible. Washing with soap and water is a subsequent step, not the first one. Notifying the supervisor is important but not the first - step action. Taking time off work is also not the initial response.

Answer:

A. Flush the area with water.
