(2) Develop a plan for ensuring that she will be treated in a sensitive manner, consistent with the content of chapter 14, by coworkers as well as yourself.
(3) Prepare a guide that you can use when talking to her to obtain her input on all aspects of both of these plans.
(4) Describe any problems that she is likely to encounter when she returns to work, and how you will attempt to avoid them or deal with them if they occur.
(5) Describe how to work with her co-workers to support her, and have efficient results in your department (to elaborate on this point consider the information posted under “Readings for week 7” in course document link.)
