Answer to Question 1

C
Any accidental body fluid spill should be cleaned up as soon as possible. The person cleaning the spill should wear gloves.

The paper towels should then be placed in the plastic-lined waste container.

Answer to Question 2

Standards of care define what should or should not be done for patients.
