6. Explain the impact of sharps injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure on patients and workers.
Homework Answers

Thus we have to be extremely cautious of the injuries caused by sharp objects such as needles and cannula. Both the workers and the patients are exposed to very deadly disease such as AIDS due to this type of injury.
