What do doctors consider an exposure when working in the medical field?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To what ?: Exposures to bodily fluids can be simple contact, a needle stick.... But more infectious agents can be inhaled, etc. The hazard of the contact varies with the agent, route of contact, and amount of exposure (time, amount of material).
