ANS: A
Bloodborne pathogens such as those associated with hepatitis B and C are most commonly transmitted by contaminated needles. Clostridium difficile is spread by contact with and ingestion of this microbe, and MRSA is spread by contact. Diphtheria is spread by droplets when one is within 3 feet of the patient.
