Disinfection & SafetyPregunta 8 de 100
An esthetician follows 'standard' or 'universal' precautions. What does this mean in practice?
a.Only clients who disclose an infection are treated as infectious
b.Gloves are worn only when the esthetician can see blood
c.Every client's blood and body fluids are treated as potentially infectious
d.Precautions apply only to services that involve extractions
Explicación
Standard precautions assume that any client may carry a bloodborne pathogen, because many carriers are asymptomatic and clients may not know or disclose their status. Relying on disclosure or on visible blood leaves the practitioner unprotected during the exposures that matter most. The principle applies to all services, not only extractions.
