Question

Use of disposable syringes for injecting medicines, etc. is specially advised to prevent
A. Poliomyelitis
B. Mumps
C. Rabies
D. AIDS

Answer 1

Hint: Syringes are widely used to provide injections, infuse intravenous therapy into the bloodstream, add compounds such as adhesive or lubricant, and draw / measure liquids in clinical medicine. In modern medicine, disposable syringes are widely used for administering medications and vaccinations or for collecting blood. In an attempt to prevent transmitting a disease, they are also used instead of reusable syringes.

Complete answer:
The research of patients in outpatient treatment facilities in the United States of four major outbreaks of HBV and HCV identified a need to identify and improve safe injection practises 453. The four outbreaks occurred in a pain centre, an endoscopy centre, and a haematology / oncology clinic, a private medical practise.
In one of these outbreaks, a contributing factor may also have been the preparation of drugs in the same workspace where used needle / syringes have been dismantled. These and other viral hepatitis outbreaks may have been avoided by obedience to the fundamental principles of the aseptic procedure for the preparation and administration of parenteral medicinal products 453, 454.
Blood-borne infectious agents including HIV and hepatitis B virus can be transmitted by unsterile needles and syringes.
Hence, option (D) AIDS is the correct answer.

Note: The disposable syringe is most widely used to draw blood, since it is an integral part of diagnosing any patient's disease by extracting samples (blood tests) from the patient's body. To prevent the risk of contamination from one patient to another, these syringes are used.
