Tina was sanitizing a surgical blade when the blade sliced through her glove and cut her finger. where does this exposure event need to be recorded?
a)standard precautions

b) exposure control plan

c) training records

d) sharps injury log

The correct answer is D. Sharps injury log.

Sharps refers to all medical objects used that can cut or pierce the skin exposing potential blood borne pathogens. Surgical needles and blades are types of sharps. In clinical settings there should be designated sharps bins for disposal of all items once they are used. If an accident occurs with a sharp object it needs to be logged in the injury log for health and safety reasons.
