A CST is finishing a case in which a known IV drug user suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and they are counting the instruments that are on the back table with the circulator. While completing the count, the surgeon placed a loaded needle holder onto the Mayo stand without informing the CST. As the CST reached to take the straight Mayo scissors from the Mayo stand to pass to the surgeon, the bloody needle penetrated the single glove and punctured the skin. The CST immediately reported the needle-stick injury to the circulator, who removed the glove, helped assess the wound, and paged for a replacement CST. After being relieved from the sterile field, the CST washed the wound with soap and water. Because occupational health was closed at this hour, the CST reported to the emergency department for treatment and then filed all appropriate reports. Did the CST handle this incident correctly?
