Mike cut his finger at work 2 days ago and now it is oozing and infected. He should ____.

According to ServSafe guidelines, if a wound is located on the hand it should be covered with an impermeable finger cot or bandage, and a single use glove should be worn over it. Antibiotic ointment, while possibly helpful for healing, is not a ServSafe requirement. It is fine to inform the manager of the injury, but if proper procedures are followed by the food handler direct food contact isn’t contraindicated. While Mike’s injury may require treatment, that level of urgency was not conveyed in the question and is therefore not the best choice.
