Question

You are the administrative assistant to a physician with a private practice. You are very good at spelling, grammar, and proofreading. The physician has left handwritten paper on your desk with a note to key the paper and correct spelling and grammar errors. You are on the company time. When you look at the paper, you can see that it is a term paper for her 15- year- old son. What do you do?

Answer 1

As the administrative assistant, you should key the paper and correct any errors. Proofread carefully, use spell-check tools, and review the paper for meaning, grammar, and punctuation. Return the edited paper to the physician.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the administrative assistant to the physician, it is your responsibility to key the paper and correct any spelling and grammar errors. Since you are on the company time and the paper is related to the physician's 15-year-old son, you should proceed with proofreading and making necessary corrections.

When proofreading, pay attention to details of meaning, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Use a spell-check tool and read the paper carefully to identify and correct any errors. Your goal is to ensure that the paper is error-free and well-written.

Once you have finished proofreading and correcting the errors, you can hand the paper back to the physician, letting them know that you have reviewed and edited it for their son.
