  1. Which OSHA standard most directly applies when a COHN is developing a bloodborne pathogen exposure prevention program for healthcare workers?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.1030 – Bloodborne Pathogens

    The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) specifically requires exposure control plans and protective measures for bloodborne pathogen risks.

  2. An employee enrolled in a worksite wellness program asks the COHN how their health data will be used. The COHN's BEST response is to:

    Answer: Explain data confidentiality policies and how aggregate data protects individual privacy

    Explaining how confidentiality is maintained and how aggregate (not individual) data is used builds trust and supports informed consent.

  3. Return-to-work programs after occupational injury are BEST described as which level of prevention?

    Answer: Tertiary prevention

    Tertiary prevention aims to reduce the impact of an established disease or injury through rehabilitation, including return-to-work programs.

  4. A COHN reviewing aggregate biometric screening results finds that 35% of employees have pre-hypertension. The MOST appropriate population-level intervention is:

    Answer: Implementing a worksite education and lifestyle modification program targeting sodium reduction and physical activity

    Population-level lifestyle interventions addressing modifiable risk factors like diet and activity are the evidence-based first-line approach for pre-hypertension.

  5. Under the ADA, when an employee requests a workplace accommodation for a chronic health condition, the COHN's role primarily includes:

    Answer: Providing clinical information to support the interactive accommodation process

    The COHN contributes clinical expertise and functional capacity information to support the employer's interactive process but does not make the legal accommodation decision.

  6. Which physical activity recommendation from the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans should a COHN promote for adult employees?

    Answer: At least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity or 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week

    The U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes/week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes/week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for adults.

  7. A COHN notices that the worksite cafeteria predominantly offers high-calorie, low-nutrient foods. Advocating for healthier food options is an example of:

    Answer: Environmental or structural change to support healthy behavior

    Modifying the food environment to make healthier choices easier is a structural/environmental strategy that supports population-level health promotion.
