The answer is the fourth one: Red Biohazard bag.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Regular trash: Incorrect. Medical waste, especially items that have been in contact with bodily fluids, should not be disposed of in regular trash due to the risk of contamination and infection.
  2. Laundry bin: Incorrect. The laundry bin is intended for soiled linens and clothing, not for medical devices or waste.
  3. Under the sink in the patient room: Incorrect. Storing medical waste under the sink is unsafe and does not comply with proper disposal protocols.
  4. Red Biohazard bag: Correct. A Hemovac drain, once used, is considered medical waste and should be disposed of in a red biohazard bag to ensure it is handled and processed safely, minimizing the risk of infection and contamination.

Summary: An empty used Hemovac drain should be placed in a red biohazard bag to ensure proper and safe disposal.
