Answer:

Health care workers are unlikely to get blood borne illnesses from their patients because there are safety practices in place to minimise the risk of exposure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Health care workers wear appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) when dealing with patients who may be carrying a blood borne illness. They should be vaccinated against the blood borne pathogens that have vaccines developed.
