Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The headset has to talk to the phone without a cord between them. You pair a Bluetooth headset. A cabled headset, a tap radio, and a desk dock do not give the nurse a cable-free call.
Full Explanation
Bluetooth is the short-range radio used for wireless headsets. A headset with no cable to the phone is a Bluetooth headset. A wired analog headset needs a cable or a jack. It is not cable-free. Near-field communication works at a few centimeters and is used for taps such as payments. It does not stream call audio across a room. A docking station seats a laptop or sometimes a phone to add ports. It is not a headset. Exam caveat: the headset has to be paired, and a phone can be connected to only one audio device if the user has not allowed more. Pair it before the shift. Operational check: pair the headset, place a test call, and confirm the audio stays up when the phone is a few feet away. Place a test call and walk a few feet away so the missing cable is proven. Record the result on the ticket before you close the call. Forget and pair again if a second headset still owns the phone's audio.
