  1. Tina should be aware that this is not allowed. Entertaining visitors during duty hours is not appropriate.
  2. Tina should inform the nurse of her sister’s visit.
  3. Tina should entertain her sister. She is on her break time and she can do anything she wants.
  4. Tina should bring her sister to the locker room and converse with her there. The nurse’s lounge is not the appropriate place to entertain visitors.
Explanation

Answer: A - Personal matters cannot interfere with the job. Otherwise care is neglected. You could lose your job for tending to personal matters at work. Even if the nurse assistant is on break time, family and friends are not allowed to visit the unit while you are working.
