question 16
2 pts
which statement about occupational health and safety (oh) legislation is correct? ch:5
○ it does not protect the support worker when providing home care.
○ not all provinces have this type of legislation.
○ it does not apply to supervisors.
○ it is enforceable only in-home care settings.

Explanation:

First Question (Informed Consent)

Informed consent requires clients to know all treatment - relevant info (like procedures, risks, benefits). Visitor policies, blood type, and treatment - setting limitations are not core to informed consent for treatment.

OH legislation varies by province (not all have it). It protects workers in all settings (including home care), applies to supervisors, and is enforceable in multiple settings, not just home care.

Answer:

B. All information relevant to the treatment
