Webinar287 Question 4

Distractors

You should have covered the lesion with a 4-inch border all around to prevent any risk of contact

You should have canceled the appointment until she brings a note from her doctor attesting that she is not infectious

You should have worn gloves, a mask, and eye protection to limit your contact with the virus

Key

Nothing--simply avoiding the area of the injury and observing good hygienic practices was sufficient
