Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The occupational health nurse is often responsible for health promotion programs at the worksite and is an excellent resource person for establishing a community partnership. If the organization does not have an occupational nurse, health programs may be the responsibility of the safety officer or an employee in the company's human resources or benefits department.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The term health promotion is used to denote a process by which employees learn about primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies to improve their health and quality of life. A partnership between employer and employee to promote the safety and health of the workers, not medicine and health, benefits both parties. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assure the safety and health of all American workers via partnerships and alliances with employers and other agencies. OSHA establishes and enforces standards to help employers and employees reduce injuries, illnesses, and deaths on the job.
