Slide 47 of 68
Notes:
Be sure to work with patient’s physician and Occupational Health Services to make sure the law is followed for post exposure workups.
If a patient has been told of a healthcare worker’s significant exposure and refuses to be tested, the testing is performed on existing serum. The results of this testing are then entered in the employee’s medical record, not the source patient’s medical record. (A court order can be obtained if the patient refuses testing and there is no existing serum.)
