West Coast Wk 6 Risks in Congenital Abnormalities & Spontaneous Abortions in Women Discussion Discussion Prompt 1: This week, you learned that employees have a multitude of rights and responsibilities, much like a patient. Employees have to feel safe in their environment in order to provide the best possible care to patients. Thus, federal, state, and local laws provide rules for the treatment of employees as well as the expectations of employees.

For this discussion prompt, use the St. Martha’s General Hospital Scenario. After reviewing a scenario and reading about employee rights and responsibilities, discuss an employee right or responsibility that may have been violated at St. Martha’s General Hospital. Then, analyze the facts of the hypothetical situation against the right or responsibility to explain how there was a violation.

Discussion Prompt 2: Which chemicals do you think are the most harmful to your own health? How are you exposed? List ways to prevent the exposure.

Discussion Prompt 3: Just because toxic chemicals are in the workplace (e.g., in the air), it does not necessarily mean a particular exposure is going to cause a disease. Why? Discuss how biomonitoring is designed to provide more accurate exposure assessment in the workplace.
