You respond to a laceration call. When you arrive on-scene, you walk into the house and find a person suffering from a severe wrist laceration from a broken window. Without thinking, you immediately grab the wrist and apply direct pressure to the wound. You then realize that, in your hurry to save a life, you forgot to put on your gloves. You look down to see your hand is covered in blood. When practical, you immediately wash your hands thoroughly. What is your next best action?
 
  A) Report the exposure incident because it is the law and you could be fined a large sum of money for failing to report the exposure.
  B) Report the exposure. Failure to report the exposure may result in you not receiving financial compensation for a potential line-of-duty injury.
