B seems like the right answer to me. Applying antiseptic and squeezing the site is a crucial step to prevent infection. Seeking the patient's medical history is not relevant in this emergency situation.

I agree with Portia, we need to know the medical history to assess the risk of infection.

I think the answer is D. Seeking the medical history of the patient is not a helpful measure in managing a needle stick injury. We need to focus on immediate first aid and reporting the incident.
