Answer to Question 1

C
General orientation usually includes information and skills measurement that all nurses new to the
facility need to know regardless of their unit. Some examples are validation of CPR, human resource
policies, policies related to medication administration, opportunities to hear from representatives from
various departments, and patient safety concerns (per the Joint Commission). Specific requirements for
certain units will come during the unit-specific orientation.

Answer to Question 2

D
During the storming stage of team development, opposing opinions or interpersonal agendas or issues
can surface, increasing the potential for conflict or uneasiness. This is a natural part of team formation
and should be expected whenever people from a variety of disciplines, specialties, and experiences
work together.
