What is the first step in responding to a blood exposure incident?

Notify a supervisor
Stop the service
Clean the area
Cover the wound

The correct answer is: Stop the service

The initial response to a blood exposure incident is to stop the service. This action is critical because it ensures that the situation is under control and prevents further exposure to blood or any potential pathogens. By halting any ongoing procedures, the safety of both the client and the practitioner is prioritized. Stopping the service allows for an assessment of the situation, including determining the extent of the exposure and implementing proper safety protocols. Once the service is stopped, other steps can be taken, such as notifying a supervisor, cleaning the area to prevent contamination, and addressing any injuries, such as covering a wound. Taking this immediate action helps to create a safer environment and mitigate risks associated with blood exposure incidents.
