In the context of sharps, which statement is true regarding recapping?

Recapping used sharps is discouraged because it increases the risk of needle-stick injuries, which can lead to serious infections and other complications. The practice of recapping can create a situation where the individual handling the sharp may accidentally puncture themselves, as they are trying to stabilize the needle while putting a cap back on. Consequently, many safety guidelines and recommendations, including those from OSHA, advocate that recapping should generally be avoided unless specifically instructed to do so under controlled circumstances. Thus, denoting that it is false to attempt to recap sharps highlights the importance of maintaining safety protocols in a healthcare setting to protect both healthcare workers and patients.
