What are other potentially infectious materials?

• A. Airborne particles
• B. Contaminated food
• C. Other body fluids contaminated with blood, unfixed tissue or organ, HIV or HBV cultures
• D. Noise

Answer: (C)

In this area, the term other potentially infectious materials refers to body fluids, tissues, or cultures that could carry bloodborne pathogens like HIV or HBV and thus require standard precautions. The option that lists other body fluids contaminated with blood, unfixed tissue or organ, and HIV or HBV cultures matches this official scope, making it the correct choice. Airborne particles and contaminated food are not classified as OPIM, and noise is not related to infectious materials.
