Answer to Question 1

A
The stages of team development are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. There is
no reforming stage.

Answer to Question 2

A
Nurses are generally assigned the role as preceptor due to their expertise, experience, and knowledge
of the unit and facility. Some important characteristics of effective preceptors: clinically
prepared/experienced, enjoy teaching, committed to the role as preceptor, familiar with the
organization's policies and procedures, and willing to share knowledge and model behaviors for their
orientees. Being assertive and/or aggressive related to clinical expertise may make a preceptor difficult
to work with for new nurses, and this behavior is not conducive to effective precepting or to successful
orientation.
