Maintaining a Safe Work Environment

Question 22 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

A patient spilled his drink in the hallway of the hospital. Jason, a nurse, immediately cleaned the spill and got the patient safely to his room before returning to the nurses’ station. What did Jason forget?

Answer
A
to dispose of the paper towels he used in a biohazardous waste container
B
to put gloves on before mopping the spill
C
to place a warning sign at the spill site
D
to make a note of the spill in the patient’s chart

Explanation

A wet floor can cause someone to slip, so the area should be marked with a warning sign while it is being cleaned and until it is safe to walk on. Jason cleaned the spill and helped the patient, but the question does not say he placed a sign. The correct choice is to place a warning sign at the spill site.
