An occupational health nurse (OHN) works in a state that requires continuing education units per year for renewing a nursing license. Which of the following courses would probably be most helpful in the role?

a. Diversity and Human Caring
b. Ergonomics and Toxicology
c. Evaluating Risks and Personnel Management
d. Health Assessment and Home Health Care

ESSAYBID ANSWER

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.
