處理尖銳物的正確流程為何？
What is the correct protocol for disposal of sharps?
- ALeave on the tray until the end of the shift留置在托盤上直到輪班結束
- BRecap before discarding丟棄前重新套上針蓋
- CDispose immediately after use✓ 正解使用後立即丟棄
- DPlace on the bedside table放置在床邊桌上
尖銳物（Sharps）的處置必須遵循「即用即丟」原則。針頭、刀片等使用完畢後，應立即投入防穿刺的尖銳物收集盒（Sharps container）中。這是預防針扎（Needlestick injury）最有效的防護措施。將尖銳物遺留在托盤或床邊桌，極易導致同仁或病人誤觸受傷，增加感染血液傳播疾病（如 HIV、HBV、HCV）的風險。
Sharps disposal must follow the 'use it and dispose of it immediately' principle. After use, needles, blades, and similar items should be placed directly into a puncture-resistant sharps container. This is the most effective protective measure against needlestick injury. Leaving sharps on a tray or bedside table greatly increases the chance that a colleague or client will be inadvertently injured, raising the risk of bloodborne infection transmission (such as HIV, HBV, or HCV).
美國醫院全面禁止針頭套回針蓋，除非在極特殊情況下使用單手技術。台灣臨床雖亦推廣不套回，但仍可見部分舊習，NCLEX 考試中則嚴格要求直接丟棄。
