Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) designs and distributes record-keeping forms called the OSHA log. The Occupational health nurse is usually responsible for filling out the OSHA log. This injury log is a record of accidents and illnesses that occur within a given year at every workplace facility employing 10 or more people. According to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), in the case of serious illness affecting themselves or family members, when all conditions are met under this act, employees can leave work for up to 12 weeks and return to work without penalty. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates that all medical information be held in confidence. One way to ensure privacy is to keep all health-related information in a separate, secured file and storage area other than the business or human resource files. The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and improved practices for safer, healthier workplaces.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
A health record can be kept on the employees as part of their other employment records. This process often starts with an initial physical examination appropriate to the type of work that is going to be done. The physical examination helps ensure fitness for the job and provides a baseline for future comparison. The physical examination is not performed to screen for cardiac defects, determine possible causes of a chief complaint, or determine a worker's eligibility for the company health insurance plan.
