ممرضة انوخزت بإبرة بعد سحب دم من مريض. ما أول إجراء؟

A nurse sustains a needlestick after drawing blood. What is the first action?

1. Recap the needle first, then dispose of it safely
2. Squeeze the wound hard, apply strong antiseptic and keep working
3. Wash the site with soap and water, then report to infection control immediately
4. Wait until the end of the shift, then see staff health

Answer: C) Wash the site with soap and water, then report to infection control immediately. Wash with soap and water without squeezing, then report immediately so the source is assessed and post-exposure prophylaxis can start within hours if needed. Needles are not recapped.
