After taking a patient's vital signs, what should Kenan do next to ensure safety?

Ensuring safety after taking a patient's vital signs involves several critical steps, and thoroughly cleaning all of the used equipment and washing hands is essential in infection control. By sanitizing the equipment that was used, Kenan prevents the potential spread of pathogens to other patients and maintains a sterile environment. Additionally, washing hands is a fundamental practice in healthcare to limit the risk of cross-contamination and protect both the patient and the healthcare provider's health.

Effective hand hygiene is recognized as one of the most significant measures in preventing healthcare-associated infections. This procedure underscores Kenan's responsibility not just for the immediate patient, but also for the broader hospital environment where multiple patients and staff might interact. By prioritizing cleanliness and hygiene, he is fulfilling his role in promoting patient safety and wellbeing in the healthcare setting.
