Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In a health maintenance organization (HMO), the provider is paid a fixed sum for the client on a monthly or yearly basis.

Question 3 of 5
A newly hired occupational health nurse is assessing hazards in the work environment. Which of the following actions will help the nurse detect potential physical hazards?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Measure noise levels at various locations in the facility. This action will help the nurse detect potential physical hazards because excessive noise can lead to hearing loss and other health issues. By measuring noise levels, the nurse can identify areas where noise levels exceed safe limits and implement control measures.
Choice A is incorrect as it focuses on illness caused by infections, not physical hazards.
Choice B is incorrect as it pertains to emotional stress, not physical hazards.
Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on industrial toxins, which are chemical hazards, not physical hazards.
Question 4 of 5
A first response team is working at the location of a bombing incident. A nurse triaging a group of clients should give treatment priority to which of the following clients?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A client who has a rigid abdomen with manifestations of shock. This client should receive treatment priority because a rigid abdomen can indicate internal bleeding or organ damage, which are life-threatening conditions requiring immediate medical attention to prevent further complications. Manifestations of shock, such as hypotension and tachycardia, also indicate a critical condition that needs urgent intervention to stabilize the client's condition and prevent deterioration.
Choice A is incorrect because superficial partial-thickness burn injuries, although painful and requiring treatment, are not immediately life-threatening compared to internal injuries like in choice D.
Choice B is incorrect as a femur fracture with a palpable pedal pulse indicates distal circulation is intact, making it a lower priority compared to the critical condition in choice D.
Choice C is incorrect as manic behavior, while concerning, does not pose an immediate threat to the client's life compared to the potentially life-threatening conditions in choice D.
