The most serious cases are seen first and the less serious often have to wait. On average, the wait time before being taken to the examination room is 76 minutes. In the examination room, a nurse spends about 5 minutes taking vitals and making notes on the patient’s condition. The patient then waits for the doctor. This wait averages 17 minutes. Treatment times by the doctor average 29 minutes. Following treatment, patients wait 7 minutes for the nurse to come to discuss the post treatment instructions. It takes about 4 minutes to review with the patient these instructions before they leave.

    Question 107 of 134
    Refer to the following scenario for the next 2 questions.
    In a mid-sized company, the leave policy states that for leave lasting more than two days, an employee must submit a written request at least two weeks in advance. An employee is planning to take a vacation requiring ten days off and submits a leave request three days before the vacation is to begin. Because of the late notice, the supervisor denies the request. The employee is upset and contacts HR. The HR manager finds out that the employee made a verbal request one month prior to the vacation time. The supervisor had given verbal approval, so the employee made travel plans and has already paid all related expenses.
    What should be the HR manager’s first step in addressing the situation?
    Answers
    Ask the employee to provide documentation of paid travel plans to verify when the trip was booked.
    Audit all supervisors for vacation policy compliance.
    Gather data to determine if the leave request policy is consistently applied.
    Discuss the matter with the employee’s supervisor.
