Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, healthcare workers must be offered the hepatitis B vaccine within 10 days of initial assignment to employment with reasonably anticipated exposure to blood or potentially infectious materials. It is not mandatory for the employee to receive the vaccine, but they must be provided with the opportunity to receive it at no cost to them. Refusal of the vaccine should not result in termination. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
