When considering risks associated with exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (commonly referred to as Bloodborne Pathogens), it's important to identify which pathogens can be transmitted through such exposures. Here's an analysis of each option: 1. **HPV (Human Papillomavirus)**: - **Transmission**: Primarily through skin-to-skin contact, especially sexual contact. - **Bloodborne Risk**: **Low**. HPV is not typically transmitted via blood. 2. **HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)**: - **Transmission**: Through contact with infectious body fluids, including blood. - **Bloodborne Risk**: **High**. HBV is a well-known bloodborne pathogen. 3. **HCV (Hepatitis C Virus)**: - **Transmission**: Primarily through blood-to-blood contact. - **Bloodborne Risk**: **High**. HCV is a significant bloodborne pathogen. 4. **HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)**: - **Transmission**: Through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child. - **Bloodborne Risk**: **High**. HIV is a major bloodborne pathogen. 5. **HRV (Human Rhinovirus)**: - **Transmission**: Mainly through respiratory droplets. - **Bloodborne Risk**: **Low**. HRV is not transmitted via blood. **Conclusion**: The pathogens **HBV**, **HCV**, and **HIV** are associated risks with exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. **Selected Risks:** - \( \checkmark \) HBV - \( \checkmark \) HCV - \( \checkmark \) HIV
