| Popis: | 1. Diseases transmitted from animals to humans, referred to as zoonoses, pose risks for persons occupationally exposed to animals. 2. Occupational health nurses should be proactive in identifying potential occupational health risks and educating employees to protect themselves from animal exposure risks. 3. Exposure history should include exposure to birds and animals during occupational and recreational activities. 4. Primary prevention is critical, as immunizations and treatments are limited and include many associated risks. |
