Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The services provided by onsite occupational health programs range from those focused only on work-related health and safety problems to a wide scope of services that includes primary health care. An occupational health and safety program may include health/medical surveillance, health screening, case management, and job task analysis.

Answer to Question 2

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.
