Why this is the answer
Standard precautions mean treating blood and other body fluids from every client as if they could be infectious, because you cannot tell by looking whether someone carries a bloodborne pathogen. In practice this means using gloves and proper procedures whenever blood or body fluids may be involved, disinfecting or discarding contaminated items, and following consistent infection-control steps with all clients — not just those who appear unwell. Applying standard precautions universally is a core safety principle reflected on the exam.
