Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The best people to use for mentoring are the recognized informal leaders on the unit. These nurses are usually knowledgeable and respected and can offer the new nurse support. A nurse with only 1 year of experience is still learning in this highly challenging setting and is generally not ready to mentor others. A charge nurse can be a role model and a mentor for a nurse interested in stepping into the charge nurse role. However, the demands on the time of charge nurses make it more difficult for them to be mentors. It would not be appropriate for the manager of the unit to be a mentor for a staff nurse as the manager's job is mainly administrative.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Touching the mask by the strings for both it putting on and taking it off is the appropriate intervention because the mask is considered contaminated. Bending the strip at the top of the mask, looping the ties over the ears, and tying the strings in a bow under the chin are all interventions used when applying a mask.
