This research paper: A 5 page research paper that discusses the proper disposal of sharps. The generic term of "sharps" covers many types of sharp blades or needles that are associated with healthcare treatment regimes. For example, lancets and lancing devices are used in diabetic care in order to obtain blood samples for glucose monitoring (Lancing devices, 2006). On the other hand, "sharps" also refers to needles and other injection devices, which are required by other treatment regimes. While it has always been necessary to dispose of sharps in a safe manner, the issue has become crucial due to the threat of HIV and hepatitis infection. Federal requirements are discussed.
