Most BPP accidents are preventable by employing proper safety techniques and wearing proper equipment. True or false?

Answer

The correct answer is True. Most bloodborne pathogen (BBP) exposures and accidents in healthcare settings are entirely preventable. By consistently utilizing engineering controls, adhering to standard precautions, properly using personal protective equipment (PPE), and following safe work practices such as safe needle disposal, healthcare workers can significantly minimize or eliminate the risk of occupational exposure.
