Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
New nurse graduates, as with other newly graduated health care personnel, have a tendency to underdelegate. This can be caused by a fear of resentment on the part of more experienced nurses, or by the need for approval or validation by completing all of their assigned duties without assistance. They may also be unsure of the scope of their duties or what they are allowed to do (such as ask for help). As new graduates, however, they should have a firm understanding of basic clinical principles and be willing to ask for assistance for clarification in areas in which they are unsure.
