Which step is NOT part of the exposure incident protocol?

Stop the service
Wear gloves
Use an antiseptic
Continue the service

The correct answer is: Continue the service

In the context of exposure incident protocol, the omission of a step related to continuing the service is crucial for maintaining client safety and health standards. When an exposure incident occurs—such as a cut, break in the skin, or any contact with blood or bodily fluids—the primary response should be to stop any ongoing service immediately. This ensures that both the practitioner and the client can address the situation appropriately without further risk or injury. Stopping the service allows for first aid measures to be taken, which may include cleaning the wound, applying an antiseptic, and ensuring that the area is safe before any further actions can be planned. Continuing the service could jeopardize the health and safety of both the client and the esthetician. Therefore, the action of continuing the service is not only inappropriate but could also lead to further complications or distress.
