Which equipment would the nurse not place in the sharps container?
1. Scalpels
2. Lancets
3. Bloody bandage
4. Needles
Correct Answer: 3
The sharps container is used for anything sharp, so a bloody bandage would go into the red-bagged trash can, not the sharps container. The other products would go into the puncture-resistant sharps container.
