Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
One of the best methods an occupational health nurse can use in assessing workplace hazards is to walk through the worksite. Reviewing incident reports, interviewing key employees, and reading the SIC Code do not provide the nurse with as much information as walking through the worksite.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. A walk-through is part of an assessment, which is part of primary prevention. Tertiary prevention includes those interventions aimed at disability limitation and rehabilitation from disease, injury, or disability. Secondary prevention occurs after a disease process has al-ready begun.
