What will be an ideal response?
Mrs. Clark will be taken back to the exam room, will be given the shot by the healthcare professional, who will document it in Mrs. Clark's record, and will update the encounter form to reflect the charges for the flu shot, at which point Mrs. Clark will return to the check-out desk
