Problem:
Your facility has a policy that the same job will be held for a period of six months for someone on medical leave for a temporary disability. Nurse Kaye asks whether she can take a similar leave toward the end of her pregnancy and after she delivers her baby. Which of the following is an appropriate response? "Voluntary conditions such as pregnancy do not qualify for the same leave as medical conditions." "The law states that you can have six months for leave but that unless you have a disability, we do not have to offer you the same position when you return." "You are entitled to the same rights as an employee on leave due to a temporary medical disability." "You are entitled to the same rights as an employee on leave due to a temporary medical disability only if you experience a complication."
