Answer 1

Answer:

During the post-exposure follow up, the employer will verify whether the source patient is allowed by the law to be identified and documented and then do the needful.

Explanation:

• Before offering the employee a post-exposure evaluation, the employer is expected to verify whether or not the exposure that has happened is covered by the law or not.
