執行手部衛生是預防感染擴散最有效且最基本的方法。其他選項如回套針頭（recapping）會增加針扎風險，應直接丟入銳器盒；佩戴無菌手套僅適用於無菌操作；醫療廢棄物需依規定丟棄，不可隨意丟在床邊垃圾桶。
Performing hand hygiene is the most effective and fundamental measure to prevent the spread of infection. Other options are inappropriate: recapping needles increases the risk of needlestick injury, and used needles should be disposed of directly in a sharps container; sterile gloves are only used for sterile procedures; and medical waste must be disposed of according to regulations and cannot simply be thrown into a bedside trash can.
