Explanation:

Question 15

The CDC's precautions are organized by how diseases spread (routes of transmission) to group similar preventive measures. Patient request, physician notes, or hospital admissions don't relate to categorizing disease precautions.

Used needles should not be recapped (to avoid needlestick injuries) and should go immediately into a puncture - resistant container for safe disposal. Recapping or putting in trash can is unsafe. Placing away from patient without proper container is also unsafe.

A. routes of transmission
