When a splash of a patient’s blood contacts a staff member’s non-intact skin (e.g., dermatitis), what should be done as part of exposure management?

1. Ignore it as long as the skin was covered by gloves at the time
2. Wash with soap and water, remove clothing, report, seek evaluation
3. Simply cover the affected area with additional gloves and keep working
4. Just disinfect the outside of the gloves and immediately resume treatment
