Scenario #3: (Emmanuel N, Banessa, Apple, Emanuel T, Apple Freeman)

– Identify the key issues presented in your scenario.

It is obvious that the patient in a clinical or hospital setting should be the first priority. Therefore, we need to focus on renewing the disposal system. It is proven that an outdated disposal system can lead towards unhygienic and unsafe practices that lead to disease spreading, accidents, and even death.

– Discuss how these issues impact the safety, comfort, and well-being of young patients and their families.

The impact of the poor waste management can cause very serious and dangerous actions it can harm or transmit germs that can be deadly to the patients and clinical assistance to keep the patient safe and everyone that surrounds the area it’s better to have proper hygiene and have a cycle that has everything in order like a new waste management that will keep things separate such as hazard materials in one disposal and recycle practices in other also waste like trash material in another disposal it’s more safer this way because if keeps everything together.

– Propose practical solutions and strategies to address these issues.

Our solution to this problem would be to buy designated bins and trash cans towards certain purposes. For example, we could buy more bins for biohazards and sharps. The bins or trash can be reused. To add on we could do the same by adding recycling, trash, and plant material bins. Furthermore, we could buy trash containers that could be designated to have certain purposes. These containers could be put in the parking lot, and this is where trash bags could be thrown away.

– Consider the role of healthcare providers and cleaning staff in implementing these solutions.

It can be pretty challenging for the people that collect the trash and having everything separate will help you as a medical assistant and the community towards a better environment.

– Discuss the potential challenges in implementing your proposed solutions and how to overcome them.

A potential problem that may affect this clinic is not having enough funds to buy the required equipment. Another concern is that patients may not follow the rules to separate trash in their designated bin. Some solutions for these problems are taking loans to have funds for our equipment such as bins, trash cans and containers. The solution for the other problem would be to advertise the idea of putting trash in the correct place to the patient.
