food handler illness quiz question: 4
which employee must report their symptom to a manager?
○ a. a worker with a bad headache
○ b. a pregnant worker who feels nauseated
○ c. a worker who threw up last night but feels better today
□ review later

Explanation:

Food handlers are required to report symptoms that could potentially contaminate food. Vomiting is a symptom that may be associated with foodborne illness - causing pathogens. Even if the worker feels better, vomiting (especially in a food - handling context) needs to be reported as there could still be a risk of pathogen transmission. A bad headache and nausea in a pregnant worker (which is a common pregnancy symptom not directly related to food - borne illness transmission in most cases) do not pose the same level of food - safety risk as a history of vomiting.

Answer:

c. A worker who threw up last night but feels better today
