Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse manager is responsible for providing a safe learning and practice environment to en-courage retention. The other strategies would not make for a good learning environment during orientation and could adversely affect retention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
ECG interpretation is a unit-specific orientation. The other options are incorrect because they are hospital orientation.
