Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Latino children who live in poverty enjoy relatively good health compared with children in other low socioeconomic groups. It is believed that strong family-community support fosters optimum family health behaviors. Many of these behaviors are integrated into the culture as part of the family identity, traditions, and history. Without strong family and community support having other resources in the community is insignificant. Strong support structures can exist in communities where fathers are not married to children's mothers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E, F
Management responsibilities of the OHN include such tasks as
managing budgets; handling workers' compensation and disability; performing cost-benefit analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, and outcomes monitoring; facilitating work accommodations and return-to-work processes; coordinating medical response activities and site disaster planning; being a resource expert on health issues for employees and management; and participating in strategic operations planning. Completing physical assessments and health histories and knowing relevant federal, state, and local regulations are responsibilities of both clinical nurses and OHNs.
