Question 19 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

A hospital determines that a large number of slip–and–fall accidents are happening at night. Which of these plans might be implemented to address this hazard?

Answer
A
banning nighttime visitors
B
lighting hallways and patient rooms better
C
educating healthcare workers about risks of slips and falls
D
providing patients with medication only during the daytime

Explanation

Improving lighting in hallways and patient rooms makes obstacles, spills, and changes in floor level easier to see at night, directly reducing the chance of slips and falls. Banning nighttime visitors or limiting medication to daytime does not address the hazard itself, and staff education alone may not fix poor visibility.
