1. the three most common and most significant bloodborne pathogens are hav, hiv and hbv.
2. hbv can survive for 1 week in dried blood, making it more easily transmitted than hiv.
3. when donning ppe, the gloves should be the first equipment you put on.
4. an infected persons blood may test positive for the hbv antigen within 2 - 6 weeks after the symptoms develop.

Explanation:

1. The correct order for donning PPE is gown first to protect clothing, then mask/respirator to protect air - way, goggles/face shield for eye protection, and gloves last to avoid contamination of hands while donning other items.
2. The HBV vaccine is typically given in 3 doses over a 6 - month period (0 months, 1 month, 6 months).
3. Hepatitis B is a bloodborne pathogen. Hepatitis A is mainly transmitted through the fecal - oral route, and Hepatitis E is also mainly fecal - oral.
4. Sharing needles and razor blades can transmit HIV as they can come into contact with blood. Wearing gloves around HIV - infected persons is not a primary way to limit risk in normal circumstances, choosing promiscuous sex partners increases risk, and condoms should be used consistently and correctly in all sexual encounters to reduce risk.
5. Ties on the gown, back of the gown, inside of the gloves, and straps on the goggles are considered clean areas as they are less likely to be in contact with contaminants. The outside of the mask and sleeves of the gown are contaminated.
6. HAV is not a bloodborne pathogen mainly, so this statement is false.
7. HBV can survive in dried blood for a week, making it more stable and transmissible compared to HIV which is more fragile outside the body.
8. Gloves are not the first item to don when putting on PPE.
9. An infected person may test positive for HBV antigen within 2 - 6 weeks after exposure, not after symptoms develop.
