    Accidental Needle-Stick Injuries Outside of the Hospital and Healthcare Setting Accidental needle-stick injuries outside of hospital and healthcare settings are a serious problem in the U.S. In fact, each year a significant number of people contract a lifealtering disease as a result of being stuck by a needle/syringe that was improperly disposed of outside of the healthcare setting. You can help by researching real-life events in which someone was stuck by a used needle/syringe outside of the healthcare setting and describing the measures you believe could have been taken to prevent that needle-stick and future needle-stick injuries.
