Answer to Question 1

A
The graduate RN makes his or her learning needs known, is prepared to take on new learning experiences, and is thoughtful about the learning that is taking place. The graduate RN is confi-dent enough to ask questions, seek clarification, and seek constructive input. The graduate RN understands the experience needed to gain expertise and will open a dialogue with the mentor. The graduate RN is clear, precise, and thoughtful in the questions asked and in the dialogue that follows. The graduate RN is hungry for learning experiences, demonstrates this through a sound plan, and is focused on the matters at hand.

Answer to Question 2

C
In a root-cause analysis, a committee is formed, which in this case would include a facilitator (usually the risk manager or performance improvement director), the nurse or nurses involved, a pharmacist, the physician, and the team leader or supervisor. The purpose of the committee is to reconstruct the events leading up to the error. By looking at the process, the committee may dis-cover that the physician's order was unclear, that two drugs with similar names were placed next to each other in the medication-dispensing unit, or that the unit of measure for the drug was un-clear.
