Answer:
The information must include:
1. whether the exposed worker was recommended with the hepatitis B vaccination
2. whether or not the vaccination was received by the worker
3. whether the worker was informed by the healthcare provider of the evaluation results, including other medical conditions that arose from the exposure to blood or OPIM (other potentially-infectious materials), for this requires treatment or further evaluation.
Explanation:
The question above is related to "Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Incidents." Whenever workers in the healthcare industry are exposed to any bloodborne pathogen (like hepatitis), <u>they must report about the incident.</u> This will prevent the worker from contracting the disease and will also prevent him from infecting others.
The worker will then undergo a medical diagnosis to address possible infection. Once the test results are in, they have to know about the results as well. A healthcare professional will evaluate the report through a written opinion within 15 days and it will include the following information above.
Other information, other than those mentioned, will not be included in the written opinion.
