Which type of PPE should a health care provider wear if the patient has tuberculosis quizlet?

Wear gloves, gown, and facial protection., Remove glass without contact with hands., Absorb the spill and remove all visible materica., Dispose of all materials in biohazard container., Decontaminate the area with a dilution of sodium hypochlorite and allow to air dry.

Reason
It is presumed the health care professional is wearing the appropriate PPE (gloves, gown, facial protection) when dealing with a large volume of fluid. To avoid injury to self or others, glass removal (without touching) would be the first step after spill. Any residual liquid would be absorbed with the appropriate material, as it might otherwise be a splash hazard and would be more difficult to contain. Everything should be disposed in the biohazard container and body fluid with blood definitely qualifies as a biohazard. Afterward, the area` would be decontaminated with a 10% hypochlorite solution and allowed to air dry. Air drying ensures sufficient contact time to destroy sports and viruses, as well as bacteria.

Reason
Hepatitis is generally caused by a viral infection of the liver and can be contracted by the fecal-oral route, blood, or unprotected sex. Hep A can be contracted via fecal-oral means (food or water contamination) and infected sexual partners. Hep A infection is primarily transmitted by fecal-oral route, by either person-to person contact or consumption of contaminated food (like a hamburger in this case) or water. Although viremia occurs early in infection and can persist for serval weeks after onset of symptoms, blood borne transmission of Hep A is uncommon. Hep B,C, D & G are contracted by blood or blood products, including infected needles, razors, etc. (thus these infections are common among IV drug users). Hep E virus is usually spread by the fecal-oral route. While rare in the United States, Hep E is common in many parts of the world. The most common source of infection of Hep E is fecally contaminated drinking water. Dental surgery should not put a patient at risk of Hepatitis since gloves should be worn and sterile technique followed.
