Title: Needlestick Injuries Are Underreported by Health Care Workers
Type: Title Slide
Source: Harmony, 1993; Chiarello, 1992
Speaker Notes:
Based on various studies, researchers have documented that needlestick injuries are underreported by health care workers and the number of exposures could potentially be much higher (Hamory, 1983). Underreporting rates range between 40.4% and 53% for nurses, 92% for laboratory personnel, and 70% to 95% for physicians.
