Temporary Partial disability means:

• A. The individual will return to work after recovery. This level is most likely a sprained ankle or some other relatively minor incident
• B. The individual will never return to work
• C. The injury results in permanent disability
• D. The person cannot perform any occupation

Answer: (A)

Temporary partial disability describes a situation where an injury temporarily limits a worker’s ability to perform their full duties, but a return to work is expected once they recover. It often involves minor injuries, such as a sprained ankle, that require some restriction or lighter duties during the healing period. Because the condition is not permanent, the goal is for the employee to resume normal work after recovery. The other options describe outcomes that are permanent or total disability, which do not fit the temporary partial scenario.
