Continuous quality improvement is essential in health care, considering staff is caring for the medical needs of others. In order to provide the best care to patients and market to the surrounding community quality improvements must be made is ensure satisfaction. Furthermore, Da Costa et. Al. (2014), touches on how quality improvement in necessary to provide for satisfaction for consumers and providers, in addition to analyze and lessen the risk of medical errors occurring.

An example of quality improvement in my previous facility that was necessary was the food services. There were many issues occurring where patients would never get their meals or the wrong meals. This highly impacted patient satisfaction and then reflected poorly on the nursing staff and hospital altogether. To improve the quality of this daily rounding on patients from the food service would start to identify the issue. Then, the food service staff would need to be interviewed and talked with about issues and ideas to solve these issues. By solving one issue at a time patient satisfaction in the area by rise. However, this is will a long process and it will need to be continuously analyzed in order to ensure improvement.

Environmental Toxicology and Human Health

Environmental toxicology examines how environmental exposures to chemical pollutants may present risks to biological organisms, particularly animals, birds, and fishes. Exposure to a physical, chemical, or biological agent may arise from a number of environmental sources, including the workplace, the home, and the medications and foods that we consume. On the list of hazardous chemicals and other agents that impact human reproduction negatively are pesticides, drugs, and heavy metals.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on the following topics:

• Physical Agents
• Chemical Agents
• Biological Agents

On the basis of your research and understanding of the topic, answer the following questions:

• Identify and describe five factors that affect responses to a toxic chemical.
• What determines the toxicity of a chemical? To what extent do you agree with the assumption that “all substances are poisons”?
• What is human exposure assessment? Explain some of the methods of exposure assessment.
• Why is epidemiology important to research studies of environmental health? Give reasoning to support your answer.
• What are some of the important limitations of the epidemiologic approach with respect to the study of environmental health problems?

Create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the above questions.

Support your responses with reasoning and examples.
