How should needles and tools be disposed after PMU procedure?

• A. Used needles should be disposed with regular trash after single use.
• B. Used needles must be placed in a sharps container and disposed according to local regulations; non-sharps go to appropriate waste.
• C. Needles can be reused if sterilized.
• D. Waste disposal is not regulated.

Answer: (B)

Disposal after PMU must prioritize safety and regulatory compliance. Used needles are sharps and can cause injuries and spread infections, so they belong in a puncture-resistant, leak-proof sharps container and are disposed of according to local regulations. Non-sharp waste should go to the appropriate waste stream. Reusing needles is unsafe and not permitted, and waste disposal is regulated to protect health; treating disposal as regular trash or ignoring rules is not acceptable.
