| a. | Emergency department for immediate care |
| b. | Migrant Health Act clinics |
| c. | OSHA, because the man was injured by farm machinery |
| d. | Workers’ Compensation, because injury was at work |
ANS:Â A
Farming and ranching do not often fall under OSHA guidelines, because they are considered small enterprises. Therefore, safety standards are not enforceable, nor is Workers’ Compensation insurance usually available for the agricultural industry. Although there are migrant health clinics, they are not always geographically convenient. The only source the nurse can count on using is sending injured workers to emergency departments for immediate care.
