Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laura is experiencing a temporary disability. Although the nervous system problems can last for up to one year, early detection and treatment may limit any long lasting effects. The temporary disability means that although she cannot currently work, she is expected to make a full recovery. Once fully recovered, Laura will be able to return to work and come off of disability.
