Larry is a CST working in the general surgery unit of an urban OR. He and Dr. Hobart are finishing a case where a known IV drug user suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen. While Larry was counting instruments with the circulator, Dr. Hobart tossed a loaded needed holder back onto the Mayo stand without informing Larry. As he turned around, the bloody needle penetrated Larry’s single glove and punctured his skin. Larry immediately reported the needle-stick injury to the circulator, who removed his glove and helped him assess the wound while paging for a replacement CST. After being relieved at the field, Larry washed the wound with soap and water. Because occupational health was closed at this hour, Larry reported to the emergency department for treatment, and then filed all appropriate reports. What should be done with the needle and the needle holder that have become contaminated by piercing Larry’s glove and skin?

A phlebotomist is called to the ER to draw a STAT hct, hgb, and plt ct on a young girl who appears extremely pale and very close to being unconscious. While checking for a good puncture site, the phlebotomist notes the “M” pattern of veins on both arms but really can’t feel the veins that well. After reapplying the tourniquet and making it a bit tighter, the vein in the middle of the AC on the right arm becomes palpable, but when entered, the blood slowly drips into the tube. After the tube is filled, the phlebotomist applies pressure to the puncture site and makes a point of holding it longer than usual before applying a new gauze and tape. While waiting, she overhears the nurse say that the patient’s BP is 80/50, and her pulse is weak. The mother says her daughter had a nose bleed that lasted almost all night. Ready to go back to the laboratory, the phlebotomist checks the puncture site again and sees that the bleeding has not stopped. The ER tech continues to put pressure on the…

Mrs. Jeffries arrives at the cardiology outpatient clinic in a major research hospital. She is moving out of state and demands to take her patient chart with her. The waiting room receptionist is unsure what to do; she receives the following pieces of advice. Which one is correct? O "You can make a copy of it, but ultimately, the chart is the property of the patient. You can be subject to liability if you don't turn it over to her within 24 hours." O "The chart belongs to the physician Mrs. Jeffries saw in this clinic. You'll need his permission to give her a copy, particularly if the data in her chart were included in a research study." O "See whether or not she has insurance. Patient charts belong to whoever is the primary insurance provider. They only belong to the patient if the patient is the primary source of payments."
