Answer:

Universal precautions do not apply to sputum, feces, sweat, vomit, tears, urine, or nasal secretions unless they are visibly contaminated with blood because their transmission of Hepatitis B or HIV is extremely low or non-existent. In 1987, the CDC introduced another set of guidelines termed Body Substance Isolation.
