Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The built environment is the connection between people, communities, and their surrounding environments that affect health habits and behaviors, interpersonal relationships, cultural values, and customs. Most people live within areas that require almost daily contact with potential health risks and threats, such as intoxicated or impaired drivers, secondhand smoke, urban crowding, noise exposure, unabated traffic, and the stress of increased mechanization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The OHN uses a variety of primary prevention methods, with one-on-one interaction as an important strategy for evaluating risk reduction behavior for individuals. Understanding appropriate engineering and administrative controls and personal protective equipment specific to preventing workplace health hazard exposures is one of the responsibilities of the OHN. Secondary prevention strategies are aimed at early diagnosis, early treatment interventions, and attempts to limit disability. On a tertiary level, the OHN plays a key role in the rehabilitation and restoration of the worker to an optimal level of functioning. Health promotion is not a level of prevention.
