Disposing of blood-contaminated materials in a biohazard container is a standard precaution. It helps to prevent the transmission of infectious agents. Cutting the needle off a syringe after using it and not wearing gloves for client care unless body fluids are seen are not recommended practices. Wearing a mask when in direct contact with all clients is not necessary unless they have a respiratory infection.
