Border Patrol Supervisor Practice Test

Which document would typically be reported using a CA-3 form?

1. Chronic medical condition

2. Incidents of trauma

3. Re-occurring injury

4. First aid administered

The correct answer is: Re-occurring injury

The CA-3 form is used to report a specific type of workplace injury that results in the employee experiencing a recurrence of a prior injury. This form is specifically designed for situations where an employee has had a previous injury that has reappeared or worsened, necessitating a new report that updates the case. In this context, the focus on recurrent injuries highlights the need for documentation of ongoing medical issues stemming from previous accidents or conditions. This ensures both proper medical attention and eligibility for benefits related to the injury. Chronic medical conditions, incidents of trauma, and first aid administered would fall under different reporting protocols, which do not specifically address the nuances of re-occurring injuries as outlined by the CA-3 form.
