When a blood spill occurs, employ:

  1. Caution

  2. Special precautions

  3. Standard precautions

  4. No precautions

The correct answer is: Standard precautions

Standard precautions are used to prevent the transmission of diseases through contact with blood, body fluids, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes. Caution (choice A) and special precautions (choice B) may generally be included in standard precautions, but they are not enough in cases where a blood spill has occurred. No precautions (choice D) is an incorrect answer as it goes against the health and safety protocols and puts individuals at risk of infection. Standard precautions should always be employed in the event of a blood spill to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
