Which items should always have a biohazard sticker?

• A. Only blood
• B. Any item with bodily fluids present or suspected
• C. Paper documents
• D. Gloves

Answer: (B)

Labeling with a biohazard sticker is about communicating risk whenever infectious material could be present. Any item that has bodily fluids present or that you have reason to suspect might be contaminated should bear a biohazard sticker so everyone handles it with proper precautions and disposal. This broad criterion is the most reliable because it covers all fluids that could carry pathogens, not just one type. Limiting it to blood misses other bodily fluids that can contaminate items, while paper documents are only hazardous if fluids are actually present, and gloves are typically treated as contaminated waste rather than items that need labeling on the glove itself.
