Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The highest incidence rate resulting in days away from work occurred from sprains, strains, and tears. Cuts were in second place, fractures in fourth place, and carpal tunnel syndrome in seventh place.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The epidemiologic triad is very helpful in occupational health nursing practice as a means to understand the complex relationships among the workers, hazards in the workplace, and hazards in the environment. In the epidemiologic triad, each worker is a host within the work population. The agents in the epidemiologic triad are workplace hazards classified as biological, chemical, physical, or psychosocial agents. The workplace exists within an external environment with specific geological and atmospheric characteristics, air and water quality, and presence or absence of environmental pollution.
