Abstract: Needle stick injuries (NSIs) present the single greatest risk to nursing personnel, primarily due to accidental exposure to infected blood and body fluids. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 600,000– 1,000,000 needle stick injuries occur annually. It is further estimated that about half of these needle stick injuries were unreported. These injuries may lead to serious and potentially fatal infections with blood borne pathogens such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)..............
