Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
A shelter-in-place policy and procedure must be established for emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, high winds, or chemical releases in buildings such as healthcare and correctional facilities. Personal protective equipment and decontamination procedures are needed for those who work with and around hazardous materials and chemicals but would not be needed for a tornado. During a tornado, workers should shelter in place, not evacuate the building.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Ecological studies are types of epidemiologic studies that compare the rates of exposures and diseases in different populations, such as in the two groups of factory workers in different countries. Prospective, cohort epidemiologic studies investigate workers who have been exposed to a variety of chemical, biological, or physical agents. The purpose of these follow-up studies is to determine whether the risk of adverse health outcomes after the event is increased. Epidemiologic studies may involve the evaluation of workers who have already experienced a common adverse health outcome. In this case, the outcome has already occurred, so the purpose of these case-control studies is to investigate, retrospectively, what agent or set of agents may explain their condition. There is no cohort case-control study.
