Venipuncture needles, after use, must be disposed of in a:
a. Biohazard bag
b. Laboratory wastebasket
c. Biohazard sharps container
d. All of the above are acceptable.
ANS: C
All sharp objects, which include needles, should be disposed of in a biohazard sharps container. A biohazard bag, as well as waste paper bag liner, is not puncture proof. In addition, a laboratory waste bag is not labeled to contain biohazard material and so puts custodial staff at real risk when handling it.
