Carefully recapping a used needle after administration of medication is acceptable as long as the needle is disposed of in an appropriate sharps container immediately afterward.
True
False
This statement is incorrect because needles should never be recapped after use to prevent accidental needle-stick injuries. The proper procedure is to dispose of the needle directly into an approved sharps container without recapping. Recapping increases the risk of injury, which can lead to exposure to biohazardous materials such as bloodborne pathogens. By avoiding recapping, healthcare providers minimize the risk to both themselves and others in the care environment.
