I was given a "sample" test to take for a job I am applying for and one of the questions is:TRUE or FALSEEvery Medical Facility is required by FEMA to have an exposure control plan. I don't ever remember hearing anything about FEMA plans in any job I have worked at. Does anyone know if this is true or false and where I can find the information to back it up.Thank you in advance! 0 Likes

cursedandblessed May 24, 2009 i don't think it's fema (federal emergency management act) i'd think it'd be false, the cdc or joint commission would require that 0 Likes

grandee3 Specializes in Tele, Acute. Has 20 years experience. May 24, 2009 I dont know anything about FEMA but it sounds like the answer is TRUE Oh, I know a lot about FEMA, I just ended a 3 1/2 year relationship with them. Hope I never have to meet up with them again. Still don't have a house, almost 4 yrs after Hurricane Katrina. I hope none of you have to deal with them either. Anyway, good luck with your job interview and your test. 0 Likes
