Question 1 of 6
1. Question
What is the management for a needle stick injury?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Encourage the wound to gently bleed, ideally holding it under running water. Do not scrub the wound. Wash the wound using running water and soap. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand rubs or solutions. If the eyes are contaminated, rinse eyes while open with water or saline. Remove contact lenses. If blood or body fluids get into the mouth, spit it out and then repeatedly rinse with water. If clothing is contaminated, remove and shower if necessary. Apply a waterproof dressing as necessary, apply pressure if bleeding is still occurring. Ensure the safe disposal of the sharp. If you are at work, notify your supervisor or Occupational Health and Safety Officer – you will need to fill out an Accident Report Form. Go straight to your doctor, or to the nearest hospital emergency department. -
