Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Practice Exam

To accurately assess a work-related injury, which of the following conditions must be met?

1. The injury must have occurred at home

2. The injury must require medical treatment or restrict work

3. The injury must be reported to a manager

4. The injury must be self-inflicted

The correct answer is: The injury must require medical treatment or restrict work

The correct choice highlights the importance of evaluating the impact of an injury within the context of the workplace. For an injury to be considered work-related, it must typically involve a situation that necessitates medical treatment or results in a restriction of the individual's ability to work. This requirement ensures that only those injuries that significantly affect an employee's capacity to perform their job duties are assessed, thereby facilitating appropriate response protocols such as medical intervention, reporting requirements, and potential compensation. Injuries that do not require medical attention or impose restrictions are often not deemed serious enough to warrant further assessment. This understanding is critical for proper management of workplace safety, as it allows for focused intervention and prevention strategies for actual work-related injuries.
