Step stools provide a secure and stable platform for patients who may have difficulty reaching higher surfaces, such as examination tables, surgical beds, or even restroom facilities. Many patients, particularly the elderly or those recovering from surgery, may experience limited mobility or strength. This is where step stools come into play, allowing them to safely access areas they otherwise could not reach. By using a step stool, medical staff can assist patients more effectively, minimizing the risk of falls or injuries during these transitions.

Importantly, the design and maintenance of electrical systems in hospitals must adhere to stringent regulations and standards set by organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Joint Commission. These guidelines help to ensure that electrical installations are safe and that risks such as fire hazards are minimized.
