When assisting in urinal disposal, what precaution should you take?

  1. Wear personal protective equipment

  2. Use a standard/universal precautions

  3. Disinfect the urinal before disposal

  4. Record the waste amount

The correct answer is: Wear personal protective equipment

When assisting in urinal disposal, wearing personal protective equipment is an important precaution to take to ensure your own safety. This includes items such as gloves, eye protection, and a face mask if necessary. Using standard or universal precautions, which involves treating all body fluids as potentially infectious, is also a good practice to follow. Disinfecting the urinal before disposal is not necessary as the waste will be properly disposed of. Recording the waste amount is not relevant or necessary for this task.
