Which of the following is a responsibility of the Business Manager?

• A. In charge of monitoring all business activity.
• B. Answers telephones.
• C. Creates weekly employee schedule.
• D. Keeps compliance with AAHA or OSHA, or delegates these responsibilities to a staff member.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the Business Manager oversees the practice’s overall operations and financial health. This role is about monitoring how the business performs as a whole—tracking revenue, expenses, cash flow, workflows, and efficiency to keep the practice running smoothly and profitably. That broad, integrative responsibility is why monitoring all business activity is the best answer.

The other tasks are typically handled by more specific roles: answering telephones is a front-desk duty; creating weekly employee schedules is usually an HR or scheduling task; maintaining compliance with AAHA or OSHA is a regulatory duty that is often assigned to a designated compliance lead or delegated to a staff member. The business manager may oversee or delegate these areas, but their primary remit is the big-picture oversight of all business activity.
