Question

Follow-up for risk of infection begins with patient testing. Patients should be tested for HIV and hepatitis B and C. Testing of the nurse is dependent on the results of patient testing; if the patient is positive for one of these infections, the nurse will be started on testing and treatment. Removing sterile gloves and placing sharps in appropriate containers are always part of the perioperative process and are not the process for postexposure. A confidential medical evaluation is provided to the nurse, not the manager.
