Imagine you're working in an emergency department of a large hospital. The paramedics call the ED to tell them they are about to arrive with an unconscious woman who suffered severe injuries in a car accident. The woman is a patient at the hospital and you have easy access to her medical records. As you check them, you see the woman is being treated for hepatitis A. Fortunately, the hospital requires all employees to be vaccinated for the most common infectious diseases, including hepatitis A. Thus, when you ask a nurse to help stop the patient's bleeding and he begins to treat her without wearing gloves, you don't bother saying anything since you know he must be vaccinated and has no risk of contracting hepatitis A. Why is this the wrong action to take? A. It's possible that the nurse lied on his application when he was hired at the hospital and has not actually received his hepatitis A vaccination B. Protective equipment like latex gloves helps protect health care employees against cuts from sharps, and it's likely the nurse will be handling needles as he treats the patient. O C. Even though there is no risk to the nurse himself, he increases the risk of transferring the hepatitis pathogen to others in the hospital by not wearing gloves. D. Even though the nurse is protected against hepatitis A infections, it is possible that the patient is carrying other infectious pathogens, some of which have no vaccine, such as HIV She may have contracted them since her last visit to the hospital
