Understanding Dynamics Construction Making
Question:
Discuss About The Understanding Dynamics Construction Making.
Answer:
Introduction
According to the case study, the signs and symptoms of the case study indicates at the probability of the caesarean patient suffering from post caesarean wound infection which is a very common occurrence of C-section facilitated due to bacterial infection in the surgical wound site. The common manifestation of this wound often includes high fever, tachycardia, wound site sensitivity and lower abdominal pain. The transmission of the infection can be airborne or can be human to human direct or indirect contact. In this case the patient had been suffering with health ac re associated infection which is not very rare with a poor post operative care plan and poor wound site infection control protocol (Zingg et al., 2015).
In case of urine splash on face the HSA should be instructed to wash exposed skin areas to urine with soap and water. If eyes are contaminated, could ask her to clean eyes with water, then will report the incident to the supervisor straightway for assessment. Along with that, it has to be mentioned that decontamination and infection risk assessment will be extremely required for such situations hence it would also be instructed to her (Zingg et al., 2015).
- Protected:
It has to be mentioned that for each and every individual belonging to the workforce should be protected from any harm while engaged in the official responsibilities.
- Responsible:
Workplace supervisors and principle investigators will take full responsibility of protection and safety of the employees.
- Proactive:
The authorities will proactively identify and correct all the health and safety hazards in the work place.
- Communicating:
The professionals will be able to communicate any health risk effectively.
- Provide 5 examples of possible emergencies in the workplace.
- Medical emergency
- Fires
- Chemical spills
- Explosions
- Bomb threats (Pirzadeh & Lingard, 2017)
Chemical Spills
- Report large spill of chemical or strong fumes to the supervisor immediately
- If there is a danger of fire, evacuate everyone to a safe area and leave the incident to the professionals.
- Using paper towels and cleaning supplies to wipe away and clean the spillage and decontaminating the area with disinfectants.
- Disposing off the cleaning wipes in a sealed pouch.
Fires
- Report fire to Reception or Switchboard if alarms have not yet activated.
- Follow RACE action plan:
- Remove persons in the immediate area
- Alert – Activate alarms
- Confine – Close all doors and windows if it safe to do so
- Extinguish – Use fire equipment only if safe and if the person using the equipment is competent in its use
Evacuating the area as soon as possible following all safety measures.
Behaviors that can contribute to fire injury are failing to install and maintain working smoke alarms, failing to establish an escape plan and exposing electrical outlets and cords. These factors will facilitate the lack of any notification system when a fire is in place and will eventually lead to fire injuries. Exposed electric cords can easily lead to short circuit and can lead to fire without any measures to detect the fire or extinguish it (Pirzadeh & Lingard, 2017).
Fatalities may include skin burn, damage to property, loss of independence and even death
