  How can the manager best plan to reduce the stress of using this equipment? 1. Have all the equipment put into service at one time so learning will be compressed.
  2. Teach the nurses with the most seniority to use the equipment and let them teach the other nurses.
  3. Be certain that all nurses attend training sessions on the use of all equipment.
  4. Post written instructions in the break room on how to use the equipment.

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.
