C) "I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for disposal." D) "I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half before I put it in the trash." - ANS "I'll collect the needles in a rigid plastic laundry detergent container and take them to a hazardous waste facility."

The client can take the container to a community drop-off program or a hazardous waste facility for disposal. ------------------- "I'll recap the needles and discard them in their original wrappers in a metal trash can." The client risks injury to themself and others by recapping the needles and discarding them in a trash can. -------------------------- "I'll put the needles in a sealed red bag and bring them to the hospital for disposal." Used needles can puncture a plastic bag and cause injury to the client and others. A hospital does not provide disposal services for clients. ---------------------------- "I'll collect the needles in a disposable aluminum pie plate and fold it in half before I put it in the trash." A folded pie plate could allow needles and syringes to slip out and cause injury to the client and others. Furthermore, discarded needles cannot be placed in the trash.
