What a nightmare! I feel for Dr. Sara. The right answer has to be D - the patient's history is irrelevant when you need to act quickly to prevent potential infection from the needle stick. Prioritize your own health, girl!

I'd go with D. Trying to get the patient's medical info is a waste of time when you need to take care of yourself first after a needle stick. This is a classic case of 'put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others'.

Haha, I hope Dr. Sara is okay! The correct answer is definitely D. Worrying about the patient's history is the last thing you'd want to do when you've just been stuck by a needle.

I think the answer is D. Seeking the medical history of the patient is not a helpful measure in managing a needle stick injury. We need to focus on immediate first aid and reporting the incident.
