4. #staff as to the nature of the nurse?s absences.

Explanation: 1. The manager should assess the time range over which the absences have occurred and the
frequency. This information might help explain the absences once the manager meets with the
nurse. Number of hours missed per pay period does not provide useful information. The
manager is not able to determine the nature of the absences until meeting with the nurse to
discuss the absenteeism.
