Hazards in Health Care

Question 1 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

What would a healthcare facility do in the case of a chemical spill occurring inside the facility? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Isolate and clean up the spill.
B
Make sure the patients do not find out about the spill.
C
Require staff working around the spill area to wear body suits and ventilators.
D
Prepare for a large influx of new patients coming from outside the hospital.

Explanation

For a spill inside the facility, staff should isolate the area and arrange for the spill to be cleaned up safely. Anyone working near the spill should use appropriate protective equipment, which may include protective suits and ventilators. Hiding the spill from patients is not an appropriate safety response, and preparing for a large influx of outside patients applies more to an emergency occurring beyond the facility.
