ANS: A
Needles should not be recapped. When it is necessary to recap a syringe, both hands should never be used; instead, use the one-hand "scoop" technique or a mechanical device to recap syringe needles safely. Gloves should always be worn when using a needle to draw blood. Needles must be disposed of in a biohazard sharps (i.e., hard plastic) container.
