What is one consequence of using contaminated cups in therapy?

Enhanced treatment outcomes
Increased patient satisfaction
Risk of hospital-acquired infections
Reduction in allergic reactions

The correct answer is: Risk of hospital-acquired infections

Using contaminated cups during therapy poses a significant risk of hospital-acquired infections. When cups that have not been properly sanitized are applied to the skin, they can transfer bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens from one patient to another or from the environment, leading to infections. This is particularly concerning in therapeutic settings where sterile techniques are crucial for ensuring patient safety and preventing complications. This potential for infection underscores the importance of strict hygiene protocols when practicing cupping therapy. Avoiding contamination helps maintain a safe environment for patients, reducing the risk of adverse health outcomes associated with infections.
