Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The purpose of this assessment is to become knowledgeable of the work processes and the mate-rials, the requirements of various jobs, the presence of actual or potential hazards, and the work practices of employees. This assessment allows the nurse to identify agents and host factors that place employees at risk. An occupational health assessment is not required by any organization.
