Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type I workplace violence involves violent acts by individuals who have no legitimate relationship to the workplace. Gretchen, working as a nursing assistant at the hospital, would be least at risk because her role involves interaction with patients and colleagues within a controlled environment, reducing the likelihood of encountering violence from external sources compared to the other scenarios which involve late hours and public-facing roles in locations with higher risks of robbery or assault.
