Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The cost-effectiveness of providing health care to employees was achieving increased recognition, and by 1912, after workers' compensation legislation had been instituted, 38 nurses were employed by business firms. As businesses seek ways to maximize the value of their dollars spent on health care services, OHNs and other health professionals face an opportunity from being able to demonstrate that cost-effective, quality health programs do improve the health of employees and their dependents, positively influencing their company's attempts to control rising health care costs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Any of the programs might be helpful, but only Ergonomics and Toxicology are inherent in the science needed to function in occupational health. Evaluating Risks is relevant to the job description, but many OHNs are the only professionals in the area, so there are no personnel to manage. Health Assessment is relevant, but rarely would a home visit be made for health care; rather a referral would be done.
