Question

7 where should you dispose of needles and other sharp instruments when you are done using them?
o a. red bag marked with a biohazard warning label
o b. steel sterilization tray
o c. puncture - resistant sharps container
o d. black and yellow sharps wastebasket

Explanation:

Needles and sharp instruments are hazardous. A puncture - resistant sharps container is specifically designed to safely hold such items to prevent accidental punctures and injuries. A red biohazard bag (A) is for other biohazardous waste like contaminated linens, not sharps. A steel sterilization tray (B) is for sterilizing instruments, not disposal. There is no standard black and yellow sharps wastebasket (D) as the proper container is a puncture - resistant sharps container.

Answer:

C. Puncture - resistant sharps container
