IBSC Certified Designated Infection Control Officer (DICO-C) Certification Practice Exam

What must the sharps injury log contain?

All hospital staff Employee vacation schedule Type and brand of device, department, explanation of how injury occurred Manufacturer warranty details

Correct Answer:

Type and brand of device, department, explanation of how injury occurred

Explanation:

Tracking sharps injuries focuses on three essential data points. The type and brand of the device involved identifies which tools are contributing to injuries, so you can target safer devices or engineering controls. The department where the incident occurred shows where in the workflow the hazards are concentrated, guiding training and process changes. A brief description of how the injury occurred captures the sequence of events and contributing factors, enabling root cause analysis and prevention actions. The other options don’t inform hazard analysis or prevention—vacation schedules and warranty details aren’t relevant, and listing all staff isn’t tied to a specific incident.
