Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Poverty is the greatest threat to child health. Children in poverty have less access to nutritious food, shelter, and health care. They are often deprived of advantages such as good schools and may live in substandard housing, have stressful home lives, live surrounded by drugs and crime, and lack positive and nurturing adult role models.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The preplacement evaluation is performed before the worker begins employment in a new company or is placed in a different job. The evaluation is a baseline examination that consists of a medical history, an occupational health history, and a physical assessment that should target the type of work that the employee will be performing. The preplacement examination may also include medical tests to determine specific organ functions that may be affected by exposure to existing agents in the employee's workplace. Examinations of individuals transferring to other jobs are critical to document any changes in health that may have occurred while the employee was working in a specific area or with a specific process. Preplacement health examinations by law will be permitted only if phrased in terms of the applicant's general ability to perform job-related functions rather than in terms of any disability and only after a job offer has been made. The examination must be job related and consistently conducted for all applicants performing similar work.
