Which of the following correctly identifies a bloodborne pathogen?

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis C
Staphylococcus Aureus
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

The correct answer is: Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is correctly identified as a bloodborne pathogen because it is primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans, and Hepatitis C fits this definition as it can lead to serious liver damage, liver cancer, and other health complications. Hepatitis A, while a viral infection impacting the liver, is primarily spread through the fecal-oral route, not through blood, making it a foodborne illness rather than a bloodborne pathogen. Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are types of bacteria that can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact or contact with contaminated surfaces, and are not classified as bloodborne pathogens. Therefore, the choice of Hepatitis C aligns with the definition and transmission method of bloodborne pathogens.
