Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Extending the nurses orientation allows the time to further develop these skills with the
preceptor. Scheduling the nurse with a seasoned nurse should occur once the nurse has
completed the orientation process. Sending the nurse to another organization does not allow
for the preceptor and manager to monitor the training process. Assessing the nurses skill in 6
months may be appropriate once the orientation process is complete but not at this time since
certain skills are lacking.
