    Study Notes

    Hazards and Safety Protocols

    • Compressed gases pose hazards including oxygen displacement, explosions, and toxic gas exposure.
    • Proper glove usage involves turning them inside out when removing; washing hands before use is crucial.
    • In case of a head injury during a natural disaster, always turn the patient onto their back.

    Chemical and Radiation Safety

    • Knowing the proper use, safe handling precautions, and treatment for chemical exposure is essential; specific chemical composition is not always necessary.
    • Medical staff must comply with HIPAA privacy rules, applying to all personnel involved in patient care.
    • Chemical labels require signal words and hazard statements, but facility names are not mandatory.

    Fire Safety and Emergency Response

    • The acronym P.A.S.S. helps remember fire extinguisher usage procedures.
    • Always lift using your legs to prevent back strain and damage.
    • Electrical safety rules include avoiding rolling equipment over cords and unplugging devices by the plug, not the cord.

    Patient Care and Mobility

    • Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Contact Precautions and ensure all safety measures are followed during patient mobility.
    • Evacuate patients in order: ambulatory, followed by wheelchair-users, then bedfast patients.
    • In emergency situations, recognize biologic or chemical exposure symptoms and report them effectively.

    HIPAA Regulations

    • Under HIPAA, patients may request their medical records, know who accessed their information, and inspect their records; they cannot alter them independently.
    • Protecting Health Information (PHI) includes avoiding disposal of printed records in regular trash.

    Chemical Exposure Effects

    • Some effects of hazardous chemicals may take years to surface, making awareness and caution vital.
    • Properly handle sharps to prevent injury; never recap contaminated needles.
    • The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides comprehensive information regarding hazardous materials, including dangers and emergency procedures.

    Emergency Management and Procedures

    • Follow R.A.C.E. for fire emergencies: Rescue, Activate alarm, Confine fire, Extinguish if safe.
    • Treat all blood and body fluids as infectious, implementing standard precautions at all times.
    • Effective emergency management involves preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation.

    Infection Control Practices

    • Hand washing is the most vital practice in preventing infections in healthcare settings.
    • Should an individual be discovered on fire, wrap them in a blanket to extinguish flames without fanning them.
    • In the case of a bomb threat via phone, carefully document the call details as instructed, rather than terminating the conversation.
