This cross-sectional study, developed at a public teaching hospital with 256 nursing professionals, had the aim to: describe occupational exposure events involving potentially infectious biological material among nursing professionals at a teaching hospital and compare the scores of adherence to Standard Precautions (SP). The first stage of data collection was performed using a form with questions regarding the occupational exposure and the psychometric scale “Adherence to SP”; in the second stage, and upon the participants’ consent, the medical records of the exposed professionals were analyzed. Adherence to SP was assessed as high and intermediate, according to the answers to the scale items.
