Question 7 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

Glenbrook Hospital finds that wrist pain is common among its lab workers. The hospital determines that the lab workers use repetitive hand motions in sorting and storing test tubes. Glenbrook’s next step should be to

Answer
A
compile a list of injured employee’s names.
B
provide lab workers with pain medication.
C
identify more hazards in the laboratory.
D
devise a strategy to reduce the risk of wrist injury.

Explanation

The hospital has identified a workplace hazard: repetitive hand motions that may cause wrist injuries. The next step is to plan ways to reduce workers’ exposure to that hazard, such as changing work methods or equipment. Pain medication treats symptoms but does not address the workplace risk, so the correct choice is “devise a strategy to reduce the risk of wrist injury.”
