Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
The individual has severe chronic fatigue for 6 or more consecutive months that is not due to ongoing exertion or other medical conditions associated with fatigue (these other conditions need to be ruled out by a doctor after diagnostic tests have been conducted). The fatigue significantly interferes with daily activities and work. The individual concurrently has four or more of the following eight symptoms:
 Post exertion malaise lasting more than 24 hours
 Unrefreshing sleep
 Significant impairment of short-term memory or concentration
 Muscle pain
 Multi-joint pain without swelling or redness
 Headaches of a new type, pattern, or severity
 Tender cervical or axillary lymph nodes
 Frequent or recurring sore throat

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The employee health nurse should provide teaching to employees about energy conservation strategies to protect workers from job-related injuries. These strategies include: placing frequently used items within reach; using proper body mechanics (not bending over and straining the back); and standing for long periods of time. Delegating parts of activities is an appropriate energy conserving strategy. When standing is necessary, it is important that desks or tables are at waist level of the employee to prevent excess reaching or straining.
