Explanation:

Universal precautions against blood - borne pathogens are standard safety measures for preventing exposure. Wearing gloves, using eye protection and face masks in case of blood spray, and proper needle disposal are such precautions. However, not giving rescue breathing to a hepatitis patient is not a universal precaution against blood - borne pathogens as rescue breathing is not a major source of blood - borne pathogen exposure in most cases and is not a standard part of universal precautions.

Answer:

Don’t give rescue breathing to someone who has hepatitis.
