## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The first action after a needlestick is always to wash the area thoroughly with soap and water. - Gently encourage the wound to bleed, but never squeeze the site as this can cause further tissue damage. - Report the incident to a supervisor immediately, with formal documentation often required within one hour. - Baseline blood tests for HIV, HBV, and HCV are mandatory for both the healthcare worker and the source patient. - Initiating Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for potential HIV exposure is a medical emergency and most effective when started within two hours.
