Disinfection & SafetyPregunta 22 de 100
An esthetician has a small open cut on her finger on the morning of a full facial schedule. What is the appropriate action?
a.Perform services as normal because the cut is small
b.Cancel all services for two weeks
c.Cover the cut with a bandage and a finger cot or glove, and keep it covered for every service
d.Apply implement disinfectant to the cut before each client
Explicación
An open lesion is a two-way route for bloodborne pathogens, so it must be covered with a bandage and a barrier such as a glove or finger cot for every service. Working with the cut uncovered exposes both parties. Cancelling two weeks of work is unnecessary, and implement disinfectants are not designed for use on skin wounds.
