Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 4, 5
Passing medications for the first time without a nursing instructor to supervise, performing a complex procedure alone for the first time, and challenging a physician's order for the first time can all be frightening and may make the nurse worry about job security.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5
One of the questions asked by the nurse is what the day-to-day job is really like. An understanding of the patient types admitted would give the nurse a better idea of day-to-day job needs. Understanding the support system and resources for the new nurse includes a need to understand the orientation process. Skills the nurse will need to know is one of the three questions the nurse will seek to answer. Knowing what types of staff (CNA, RN, LPN, etc) the nurse will work with tells the nurse the support system available.
