Study Notes
Compressed Gas Hazards
- Hazards include oxygen displacement, explosions, and toxic gas exposures.
Safe Glove Practices
- Gloves should be turned inside out when removed to avoid contamination.
Handling Head Injuries
- Do not turn a person with a head injury onto their back; instead, use proper lifting techniques and assistive devices.
Chemical Safety
- Important information required before using a chemical product includes proper use, precautions for safe handling, and treatment for exposure.
HIPAA Compliance
- HIPAA privacy requirements apply to doctors, nurses, Environmental Services staff, and engineering staff.
Chemical Labels
- Labels must include a signal word, a hazard statement, and a pictogram, but not the facility's name.
Fire Safety
- The acronym P.A.S.S. is essential for remembering how to use a fire extinguisher: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.
Proper Lifting Technique
- Always use your legs when lifting something off the ground to avoid back injury.
Electrical Safety
- Equipment should not be rolled over electrical cords to prevent damage; unplug by the plug, not the cord.
Contact Precautions
- Individuals must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like gowns and gloves when caring for a patient on Contact Precautions.
Moving Weak Patients
- Consider using a transfer belt, mechanical aids, and an assistant when mobilizing weak or unsteady patients.
Internal Disasters
- A bomb threat is classified as an internal disaster, while earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods are external.
Earthquake Precautions
- Using candles for illumination during an earthquake should always be avoided due to fire risks.
Radiation Safety
- Borrowing a radiation badge monitor from a co-worker is incorrect; each worker should have their own monitor for safety.
Patient Transfer Techniques
- Avoid having the patient hold onto your neck or shoulders when transferring them from bed to a wheelchair.
