Red Seal Cosmetology Practice Exam

What is considered an exposure incident?

1. Using too much disinfectant

2. Contact with bodily fluids due to an employee's duties

3. Reading about infectious diseases

4. Cleaning a contaminated surface

The correct answer is: Contact with bodily fluids due to an employee's duties

An exposure incident is defined as an event where an employee comes into contact with bodily fluids while performing their duties. Options A, C, and D are not considered exposure incidents because they do not involve direct contact with bodily fluids. While using too much disinfectant or cleaning a contaminated surface may be a potential hazard, they do not meet the criteria of an exposure incident. Additionally, reading about infectious diseases does not involve any physical contact and therefore does not qualify as an exposure incident. Therefore, option B is the only correct choice as it accurately describes an exposure incident.
