Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The employee's injury is categorized as having permanent disability because they are not expected to be able to perform their regular job in the future. This means that the injury has resulted in a long-term or permanent impairment that will impact their ability to work. Choices A and B do not fit this scenario since the employee is unable to return to work or perform regular duties, and therefore cannot be described as having either no disability or temporary disability. Choice D may come into play if the employee undergoes vocational training to learn new skills and find alternative employment options, but this is not the primary classification of the injury in this case.
