Sharps safety is governed by exposure control plans and engineering controls. After completing a draw, the phlebotomist must immediately activate the needle’s safety feature and dispose of the device intact into an approved, puncture-resistant sharps container located at the point of use. Option B embodies this standard. Recapping is generally prohibited due to high risk of percutaneous injury; if a policy exceptionally requires recapping, a one-hand scoop is the only acceptable method—but routine two-hand recapping (Option A) is unsafe and noncompliant. Bending, cutting, or breaking needles (Option C) increases aerosolization and injury risk. Delaying disposal (Option D) accumulates hazards and violates point-of-use disposal requirements. Additional safety elements include never reaching into sharps containers, replacing containers when ¾ full, using appropriate PPE, and reporting needlestick incidents immediately for evaluation and potential prophylaxis. Training, competency assessment, and adherence to safer device usage markedly reduce occupational exposures and are core exam expectations for phlebotomy professionals.
