1. Question
If a nurse accidentally punctures a finger with a needle after withdrawing blood from a client, which of the following actions should be carried out first?
CorrectOption B is the correct answer.
Rationale: If a nurse accidentally punctures a finger with a needle after withdrawing blood from a client, the nurse should immediately wash the puncture area with soap and water, being careful not to apply pressure but to allow the injury to bleed freely to facilitate washing out any virus or bacteria that may have been injected into the wound. Then, the incident should be reported to a supervisor, an incident/injury report filed, and follow-up assessment carried out.
