[EHCWM] CE Credit Frag. Free Course for Nurses (fwd)

[Guest guest]

<<Welcome to MNA's program, Fragrance Free!

Creating a Safe Health Care Environment.

Though we seldom give them much thought,

fragrances pervade our lives. We wear

perfumes and colognes to make ourselves

more appealing. We wash our clothes in

scented detergents and household cleaning

products are full of smell—pine and lemon,

just to name two.

But what goes into them? It turns out that

most of these fragrances are synthetic chemicals,

introduced into our environment with only minimal

safety testing. Many of the ingredients of these

chemical fragrances are known to have negative

health effects. Respiratory and nervous system

illnesses rise right along with the use of chemical

fragrances.

The goal of this program is to ensure a safe and

therapeutic environment for both patient and nurse

to interact in. The elimination of fragrance is a

choice the nurse can make to help ensure a healthier

environment for both patients and workers.
