Answer: 1; 3
Rationale:
• Nurse A has been employed full-time with the organization for 3 years, and is preparing for the placement of a foster child in the home: The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to employees who have been employed with the same organization for at least 12 months. The employee is entitled to a leave from work when a foster child is placed with the employee. Nurse A is entitled to the leave and the benefits associated with this act.
• Nurse B has been employed full-time with the organization for 10½ months, and is due to give birth to a baby this week: The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to employees who have been employed with the same organization for at least 12 months. Nurse B has not worked with the organization for 12 months, and would not be entitled to the benefits associated with this act.
• Nurse C has been employed full-time with the organization for 6 years. Nurse C's mother fractured her hip during a fall 1 week ago, and will be moving in with Nurse C's family after release from the hospital: The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to employees who have been employed with the same organization for at least 12 months. The employee is entitled to a leave from work when the employee has to care for a family member with a serious health condition. Nurse C is entitled to the leave and the benefits associated with this act.
• Nurse D has been employed full-time with the organization for 2 months, and was in a motor vehicle accident this morning and suffered severe injuries. Nurse D is currently in the Intensive Care Unit as a client: The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to employees who have been employed with the same organization for at least 12 months. Nurse D has not worked with the organization for 12 months, and would not be entitled to the benefits associated with this act.
• Nurse E has been employed full-time with the organization for 21 years, and wants to take the 4 months off of work to go to Europe: The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to employees who have been employed with the same organization for at least 12 months. An employee is entitled to a leave from work during the following circumstances: the birth of the employee's child; the employee adopts a child; a foster child is placed with the employee; the employee has to care for a family member with a serious health condition; or the employee has a serious health condition. Nurse E does not meet the criteria for the leave, and would not be entitled to the benefits associated with this act.
