a.Finish the EKG and mention it at the end of the shift

c.Cover it with a glove and continue with all patients
d.Document it in the patient's chart only
Giải thích
The bloodborne pathogens standard requires that exposure incidents be washed immediately and reported without delay so the employer can provide a confidential medical evaluation and any indicated post-exposure follow-up, which is time-sensitive. Delaying the report until the shift ends can forfeit protection. Covering the wound and continuing risks both the technician and patients, and an employee exposure belongs in an incident report, not the patient's chart.
