b. No
Solution
The answer is the first one (a): Yes.
Explanation:
Universal Precautions is a set of guidelines developed to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens in healthcare settings. According to these guidelines, all blood and other potentially infectious body fluids are treated as if they are infectious, regardless of the perceived risk. This approach is taken to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients by minimizing the risk of exposure to infectious agents. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes," as all blood and potentially infectious body fluids are considered to pose a possible risk of infection under Universal Precautions.
