What Role do Nurses Play in Managing VOC Exposure?
Nurses play a crucial role in managing VOC exposure by:
Advocating for the use of safer, low-VOC products. Educating patients and staff about the potential health risks associated with VOCs. Participating in policy development to improve IAQ in healthcare settings. Monitoring patients for symptoms of VOC exposure and taking appropriate action.
By being proactive, nurses can help create a safer environment for both patients and healthcare workers.
