Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, F
The general orientation for the new nurse should include: hospital policies and procedures, CPR
competency, and safety issues. Orientation on the pulse oximetry set up and IV monitoring equipment
will most likely be done during the unit-specific orientation.

Answer to Question 2

b

a. Incorrect: Rural characteristics (e.g., lack of services and resources, small institution size, diminishing population, and isolation factors) would be a deterrent to nursing in a rural community.
b. Correct: Facilitators for nursing recruitment and retention in rural areas included connection to the community (e.g., family ties, social networking, spousal employment) and a supportive work environment (e.g., full-time employment, variety of experiences, professional development opportunities, independent practice).
c. Incorrect: The limiting nature of rural nursing structure (e.g., scarcity of full-time jobs, mainly float positions, decreased opportunities for professional development, excessive overtime/workload, lack of nurses in the system) would be a deterrent to nursing in a rural community.
d. Incorrect: Limited contact with support services would be a deterrent to nursing in a rural community.
