"1. A health care provider who has not been immunized for
hepatitis B is exposed to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) through a
needle stick from an infected patient. The infection control nurse
informs the individual that treatment for the exposure should
include:
a. baseline hepatitis B antibody testing now and in 2 months.
b. active immunization with hepatitis B vaccine.
c. hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) injection.
d. both the hepatitis B vaccine and HBIG injection. Correct
Answer Correct D

hepatitis B vaccine, which would provide temporary passive
immunity and promote active immunity. Antibody testing may
also be done, but this would not provide protection from the
exposure.
