What should be done immediately after a blood exposure incident?

Apply a bandage
File an incident report
Stop the service
Rinse with water

The correct answer is: Stop the service

After a blood exposure incident, the immediate priority is to stop the service. This action ensures that the situation is contained, preventing further exposure to blood for both the client and the cosmetologist. It is crucial to halt any procedures to address the potential health risks involved immediately. Once the service has been halted, proper protocols can be followed to clean and disinfect the area, assess any injuries, and administer first aid if necessary. Responding quickly is vital to minimize the risk of infection and ensure safe conditions. Following the cessation of the service, other steps such as rinsing with water, applying a bandage, and filing an incident report will need to be taken, but they come after addressing the immediate cessation of services to manage the incident properly.
