Review of Body Mechanics, Safety and Leadership

Instead of pushing or pulling a heavy object (greater than 35 lbs), it is easier to: A.lift the object and get it close to the body B.Use equipment designed to help with the lifting C.Use the “hook and lift” technique to move the object D.Try to move the object yourself to protect the back’s of coworkers

Ergonomics differs from body mechanics in that: A.Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker and designing equipment and work tasks to match the capability of the worker while body mechanics is supporting all parts of the body B.Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker while body mechanics is use of proper body mechanics to prevent injury C.Ergonomics and body mechanics are the same D.Ergonomics refers to the cost of assistive devices while body mechanics is the use of assistive devices

Lower back muscles are A.Large strong muscles closest to the hands B.Muscles that are best to use for lifting C.The lower back is the most vulnerable to injury due to its distance from the load handled by the hands D.All of the above

You should get help lifting: A.Any time the object is less than 35 pounds B.Whenever you are lifting any object in the work place C.When the load is unsteady or over 35 lbs D.All of the above

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) A.establishes and enforces safety standards for the workplace. B.Manufactures assistive devices for hospital use C.Is the organization that oversees HOSA D.All of the above

What is the purpose of a material safety data sheet? A.To provide instructions for isolation from infectious diseases B.To provide guidelines for the safe handling, disposal and exposures to chemicals C.To provide reimbursement for medical expenses from chemical exposure D.To provide legal advice for those exposed to dangerous chemicals

What is essential before you perform a procedure? A.Understanding and orientation on the procedure B.Authorization prior to performing the procedure (informed consent) C.Proper safety precautions/equipment available D.All of the above

Which of the following are recommended when using a fire extinguisher? A.Use the right type of extinguisher for the fire B.Only fight a fire that is still in the incipient stages (still contained) C.Sweep along the base of the fire with the fire extinguisher D.All of the above

Which acronym is commonly used to remember the correct steps for using a fire extinguisher? A.RACE B.OBRA C.OSHA D.PASS

When discharging a fire extinguisher, where is the spray directed to eliminate the source of the fire? A.The center of the fire to eliminate the source of the fire B.Side to side in a sweeping motion C.Top to bottom D.Bottom to top

How many inches apart should the feet be to maintain a broad base of support? A.2 to 4 inches B.4 to 6 inches C.6 to 8 inches D.8 to 10 inches

Safety glasses ____. A.Should be worn at all times B.Are required for many procedures, including feeding patients C.Are usually not needed in health care facilities D.Must be worn while using electrical equipment

In case of fire in an out of control fire in a health care facility, the first and most important thing to do is ____. A.Be able to tell fire fighters the institutional plan for fighting a fire B.Call 911 C.Remove patients from the area with the fire D.Make sure sprinkler systems are in working order
