The appropriate container for a biopsy specimen is
a clear plastic bag
single- leak proof container with a biohazard symbol
a reusable container without a biohazard symbol
any container with a lid
The correct answer is: single- leak proof container with a biohazard symbol
A single-leak proof container with a biohazard symbol is the appropriate container for a biopsy specimen for several reasons. Firstly, a clear plastic bag would not provide sufficient protection from leaks and potential contamination. It also does not clearly indicate that the specimen is potentially hazardous material. A reusable container without a biohazard symbol may not have been properly sanitized and could cause contamination. And although any container with a lid may seem like a viable option, it may not be specifically designed for the storage and transport of biohazardous materials. Thus, a single-leak proof container with a biohazard symbol is the best choice to ensure the safety and integrity of the biopsy specimen.
