Contact the physician because they always make the decision about a person's suitability for patient care. Now that does not mean the employer (nurse supervisor) has to concur, only that the doctor says whether you are ok to work with patients or not.

I remember the first question, I believe it's from Kaplan. The answer is "B", come to work as scheduled. I was blown away by that because I agree with the previous post that the person should contact their physician and that's the answer choice I selected. I curious to know what others think as well.
