Question

a food worker vomits a few hours before she is scheduled to work, but she feels much better afterward. what should she do? a. go to work as usual b. report the symptom to her manager c. wait to see if she develops a fever d. ask her manager if she can work with foods that will be cooked

Explanation:

In food - handling environments, any symptoms like vomiting (which can be a sign of a contagious illness) must be reported to the manager. This is to prevent potential contamination of food. Option a is incorrect as going to work as usual could spread any potential illness. Option c is not proactive enough as waiting may still pose a risk. Option d is also incorrect as even if working with cooked foods, there could still be a risk of contamination during preparation (e.g., if the worker has a contagious illness that can be transmitted through contact). Reporting the symptom (option b) allows the manager to take appropriate actions such as determining if the worker is fit for work, getting medical advice, or making work - related adjustments.

Answer:

B. Report the symptom to her manager
