Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Work-related stress or burnout has been defined as an important problem for many individuals. Responses to negative interpersonal relationships, particularly those with authority figures in the workplace, are often the cause of vague health symptoms and increased absenteeism. Education about stress would be pertinent to all workers, regardless of specific job or setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Radiation is an example of an agent. The agents, factors associated with illness and injury, are occupational exposures that are classified as biological, chemical, enviromechanical, physical, or psychosocial. Environmental pollution is part of the environmental factor in the epidemiologic triad. Susceptible human beings and high-risk groups of individuals are part of the host factor of the epidemiologic triad.
