How can you avoid poisoning in a healthcare setting?

  1. Store toxins in locked cabinets

  2. Label all toxins and poisonous materials

  3. Dispose of all toxins

  4. Use toxins sparingly

The correct answer is: Label all toxins and poisonous materials

Labeling all toxins and poisonous materials is the best way to avoid poisoning in a healthcare setting. This is because labeling ensures that healthcare workers are aware of the presence and potential danger of these substances, and can take the necessary precautions when handling them. Option A, storing toxins in locked cabinets, is also a good practice but may not be as effective if the substances are not properly labeled. Option C, disposing of all toxins, is not a practical or feasible solution as some toxins may still be necessary for medical treatments. Option D, using toxins sparingly, is not a reliable method as even small amounts of toxins can be dangerous if not handled properly.
