Used gauze or gauze that rests on anything that has not been sanitized must be disposed of. Bandages put out to be used with a patient and bandages that are taken off of a patient must be properly thrown away due to the potential for contamination.
B. A puncture-resistant bag that is marked with the biohazard symbol.
Explanation:
Medical wastes include<em> used syringes</em>, thus it is important to use a "puncture-resistant bag" in order to prevent people holding the disposal bag from getting punctured. Once a person gets punctured, he'd most likely get infected by <em>bloodborne pathogens</em>. In order to increase the safety and awareness of people, a "biohazard" symbol is marked on the bag<em><u> in order to give them a warning and to identify the disposed wastes.</u></em>
