A material that was in contact with blood or any potential infectious materials must be disposed of in

• A. Glove Or Sealable Plastic Bag
• B. Sharps Container
• C. Trash Can
• D. Reusable Container

Answer: (A)

Contaminated materials must be contained in a leak‑proof, closable container to prevent exposure and the spread of infection. Placing used items like gloves into a sealable plastic bag provides the necessary containment, and the bag can then be handled and disposed of without risk. The option that reflects this approach—treating the contaminated item and putting it into a sealable bag as the disposal step—fits the safety standard for infectious waste. Sharps containers are designed specifically for needles and other sharp objects, not general contaminated waste. A plain trash can isn’t sealed against leakage or exposure, and a reusable container would risk ongoing contamination.
