Option 4 : Assuming that all blood and body fluids are safe 

Concept:

  • Standard precautions previously known as universal precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of bloodborne and other pathogens from both recognized and unrecognized sources to a susceptible host. 
  • They are the basic level of infection control precautions.
  • The universal precautions are hand washing, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), Cleaning of contaminated surfaces and blood and body fluid spills, safe handling or disposal of contaminated material, Use and disposal of needles and sharps safely ( no recapping), systems for safe collection of waste and disposal.
  • Assuming that all blood and body fluids are safe doesn't come under universal precautions. Without any evidence, assuming that blood and body fluids are safe leads to risk of infection and other blood born disorders. To avoid that need to protect self by following universal precautions.​

  • Reducing level of contact with blood and body fluids by using Personal Protective Equipment and hand washing, safe handling and disposal of contaminated material helps to avoid risk of infections.
  • Maintaining confidentiality of known carriers and aiming at reducing cross - infection helps to avoid morbidity and mortality rate.
