Sanitization is essential in nursing for several reasons: 1. Prevention of Infections: Proper sanitization helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases, which is critical in healthcare settings where patients are often vulnerable. 2. Patient Safety: Ensuring that equipment and environments are free from harmful pathogens protects patients from potential complications. 3. Healthcare Worker Protection: Nurses and other healthcare workers are at risk of exposure to infectious agents. Proper sanitization minimizes this risk.
