Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Having all the equipment at once would complicate learning and increase stress.
Rationale 2: The nurses with the most seniority will already be stressed by all the new equipment. Asking them to be responsible for teaching the remainder of the nursing staff is not a good plan.
Rationale 3: The best way to decrease stress of using this equipment is to be certain training is adequate.
Rationale 4: There is no assurance that all of the nurses will read these instructions. Many nurses do better when shown how to use equipment and allowed to practice.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. All of these roles are roles of the preceptor but in this situation the role of counselor is most
appropriate.
