Which abbreviation stands for Body Substance Isolation?

• A. DNR
• B. cc
• C. BSI
• D. c/w

Answer: (C)

Body Substance Isolation is an infection-control approach that treats all body fluids, secretions, and potentially contaminated materials as infectious. The abbreviation that represents this practice is BSI. Using BSI means donning appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, gown, mask, and eye protection, along with proper hand hygiene and safe handling of potentially contaminated items to prevent exposure. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts—one denotes decisions about resuscitation, another is a unit or shorthand, and another means “with”—so they do not describe this infection-control principle.
