Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Occupational health specialty practice focuses on the promotion, prevention, and restoration of health within the context of a safe and healthy environment. It involves the prevention of adverse health effects from occupational and environmental hazards. It provides for and delivers occupational and environmental health and safety services to workers, worker populations, and community groups. It is an autonomous specialty, and nurses make independent nursing judgments in providing health care. All nurses should engage in health promotion and disease prevention, and many specialties provide care in the community. Several specialties (such as advanced practice nurses) are required to be nationally certified to be employed.
