Absolutely no photographs or video may be taken in the anatomy laboratories. Postexposure Policies and Procedures An exposure incident is considered an urgent medical event that requires immediate attention for proper medical management. An exposure, which might place a student at risk for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or HIV infection is defined as a specific eye, mouth, or other mucous membrane, non-intact skin, or parenteral contact with blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials. If a student has experienced such an exposure, the student must not delay in seeking medical care. The exposed student is to report the incident and the outcome of that initial evaluation as soon as possible to the environmental health and safety (EHS) liaison or the Office of Environmental Health and Safety via email at EHS@nova.edu. It is the responsibility of the exposed person to complete the appropriate online Postexposure Incident Form, located on the Office of Environmental Health and Safety website at nova.edu/ehs/index.html, as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after the exposure incident. If the exposed student is within the local geographic work areas of the NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus or NSU’s health clinics at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus and during normal business hours, the exposure should be immediately communicated to the EHS liaison within that college/ NSU health clinic/business unit, and the exposed student must immediately go to the NSU Student Medical Center, identify themselves as having been exposed to a bloodborne pathogen, and undergo a postexposure evaluation and follow-up procedure. In the case of a student in a health college program, visiting student, or resident, their health insurance will be billed. If the exposure occurs after normal business hours or outside of the NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, the exposed person should proceed on their own to the nearest emergency department for an immediate and timely evaluation. NSU students have exclusive responsibility for their own medical bills. All applicable processes and procedures can be found in NSU’s Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control plan and NSU’s Post-Exposure Policy and Procedure for Management of Blood and Body Fluid Exposure, at nova.edu/ehs/NSU-EHS-Bloodborne-Pathogens-2020.pdf and nova.edu/ehs/final-draftpost-exposure-policy-for-management-of-blood-and-body-fluid-exposure-1.4.24.pdf, respectively.
