HOSPITAL ITERMS

When we visit a hospital, we may notice many things such as wheelchairs, pressure mattresses,
and oxygen tanks. These items help patients who may have trouble walking or need assistance
with breathing. Other things like gowns, syringes, and gloves are also important for keeping things
clean and reducing the spread of germs.

When doctors and nurses use these items, they have to dispose of them safely in special
containers called biohazard waste containers and sharp containers. This keeps everyone safe from
harmful materials and ensures that the hospital is a clean and healthy environment.

When patients stay in the hospital, they usually stay in special rooms called patient rooms. These
rooms have everything the patient needs, such as a bed, supplies, and a call button to alert the
staff if help is needed. They may also have a badpan, which is used for bathroom needs.

Overall, these items and tools are essential for providing quality care and making sure patients feel
comfortable during their stay.
