Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Used gauze or gauze that rests on anything that has not been sanitized must be disposed of. Bandages put out to be used with a patient and bandages that are taken off of a patient must be properly thrown away due to the potential for contamination.

Answer 2

B. A puncture-resistant bag that is marked with the biohazard symbol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Medical wastes include used syringes, thus it is important to use a "puncture-resistant bag" in order to prevent people holding the disposal bag from getting punctured. Once a person gets punctured, he'd most likely get infected by bloodborne pathogens. In order to increase the safety and awareness of people, a "biohazard" symbol is marked on the bag in order to give them a warning and to identify the disposed wastes.
