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.
