Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to the textbook which employees should be eligible for safety incentives?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because safety incentives should be available to all employees, not just production workers. This promotes a culture of safety across the entire organization, reducing accidents and injuries. Excluding office workers (choice C) would create a divide in safety awareness. Choices A and B are too restrictive and may discourage reporting of minor safety issues, which could lead to more serious incidents. In summary, choice D is the most inclusive and effective approach to promoting workplace safety.
Question 2 of 5
As the drilling supervisor, Travis is responsible for getting the rig dismantled, moved, and set up
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: intellectual stimulation. This dimension of transformational leadership involves encouraging innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. By asking the workers to identify safer ways of carrying out the move, Travis is stimulating their intellect and promoting a culture of continuous improvement. This approach fosters critical thinking and empowers employees to contribute ideas. Other choices are incorrect: A: While the scenario involves encouraging workers to identify safer ways, it focuses on stimulating their intellect rather than idealized influence, which involves setting an example and instilling pride. B: Idealized influence relates to establishing trust and admiration, which is not the focus of the scenario. C: Inspirational motivation involves inspiring and motivating others towards a shared vision, not specifically focusing on intellectual stimulation.
Question 3 of 5
How does critical theory differ from other nursing theories such as the Health Belief Model or Orem's self-care deficit theory?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Critical theory is an approach that raises questions about oppressive situations, involves community members in the definition and solution of problems, and facilitates group interventions. The other two theories focus more on individual beliefs and choice of action.
Question 4 of 5
Which best explains why it is difficult to get others interested in environmental health?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: People respond to acute crises with dramatic media coverage (such as hurricanes or earthquakes), but ongoing consistent pressure is needed to ensure day-to-day environmental integrity. Chronic environmental problems are rarely addressed effectively.
Question 5 of 5
It has been learned that a particular industry has vastly polluted the surrounding neighborhood. Which action would most likely be taken by those living in the neighborhood?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Residents may be unwilling to disrupt family ties and cultural roots to start over elsewhere, or they may be unable to afford to move. Residents are revictimized by the difficulty in obtaining compensation. Attempting to shut the industry down, seeking reimbursement for the hazard exposure, and immediately moving to a different neighborhood are all costly interventions and in most cases cannot be easily accomplished by most residents.
