Question

elana works in a laboratory and frequently has to use a pipette as part of her job. what risk factor is elana exposed to through this task?
select the best option.
repetitive motions
vibration
prolonged periods of localized pressure
neutral postures

Explanation:

Using a pipette frequently involves repeatedly performing the same hand - arm movements (such as squeezing the pipette bulb and releasing it). Repetitive motions can lead to musculoskeletal disorders over time. Vibration is not a typical risk factor associated with pipette use. Prolonged periods of localized pressure would involve constant pressure on a body part (e.g., leaning on an elbow for a long time), which is not the case here. Neutral postures are actually a good thing (not a risk factor) as they are ergonomic.

Answer:

Repetitive motions
