4. Write a 330 word assigment based on you re own research of the topics above which ilustrated
the importance of a safe environment.

The environment represents all the elements we are surrounded by, they can be places or things.
By safe we mean the set of all the things/dangers that we have to avoid, in order to create a safe
environment. Any environment in which a person lives has certain factors that affect him
negatively (risk factors). Both the disease itself and the new environment force a person to
change his usual way of life and meet his needs in a new way. To maintain health, a person must
be well adapted to them. That's why those who work in the hospital environment must ensure the
safety and needs of the patients by adapting to everyone's requirements, and at the same time
ensure compliance with the appropriate hygiene rules, the safe way to prevent various infections.
Among the aspects that we will have to take into account to ensure the existence of a safe
environment, we will illustrate the following, the rooms in which patients live will be cleaned
and ventilated according to the hygiene rules of cleanliness, the floor should be washed and
dried, sterilizing all the equipment we will use on patients, maintaining a proper temperature,
keeping a sufficient light, using slippers suitable for the hospital environment, the rooms should
be painted as color, furniture and the equipment to provide the feeling of home, therefore, a safe
environment in a hospital must be considered as the one that ensures the comfort and safety of
both the staff and the patients.
