Question 1 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which of the following is an example of direct observation?

Answer
A
A staff member has a supervisor observe him at specific times.
B
An intern is shadowed by a senior staff member every day.
C
A staff member works independently, and the supervisor does not check in.

Explanation

Direct observation means a supervisor watches an employee perform their work firsthand. In choice A, the supervisor observes the staff member at specific times, so this is direct observation. Shadowing in choice B may involve observation too, but the description does not specify that the senior staff member is evaluating the intern’s work.
