Question

Sachi is the head of respiratory therapy at a busy hospital outpatient center. She notices that

one of the respiratory therapists, Jeanine, tends to run long with each patient. Sachi is glad that
Jeanine feels comfortable chatting with patients, but other therapists have complained that
Jeanine's long appointments throw the schedule of the whole center off. How might Sachi BEST
handle the situation with Jeanine?
(1 point)
O Hold a staff meeting about patient appointment length.
Dock Jeanine 15 minutes pay every time she runs over.
O Meet with Jeanine one on one to discuss patient management.
O Ask another therapist to interrupt Jeanine when she is running long

Answer 1

The BEST way for Sachi to handle the situation with Jeanine is to meet with her one on one to discuss patient management. This approach allows Sachi to address the issue directly with the individual involved, provide guidance, and find a solution that works for both Jeanine and the rest of the therapists. Holding a staff meeting may not be effective as it may not directly address Jeanine's specific behavior. Docking Jeanine's pay or asking another therapist to interrupt her may create negative consequences and may not effectively address the underlying issue.
