Infection ControlCâu 77 / 100
An assistant must recap a contaminated anesthetic needle before the dentist gives a second injection. What is the correct method?
a.Use a one-handed scoop technique or a mechanical recapping device
b.Hold the cap in one hand and guide the needle in with the other
c.Ask a coworker to hold the cap steady
d.Leave the needle uncapped on the tray until the next injection
Giải thích
Recapping is permitted only when no alternative exists, and then only with a one-handed scoop or a mechanical recapping device that keeps the free hand away from the needle. Holding the cap in the opposite hand or having a coworker hold it places a hand directly in the path of the sharp. Leaving an uncapped needle on the tray creates a serious puncture hazard for everyone in the operatory.
