Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When being taught by a preceptor, it's important to recognize that they may have different ways of performing tasks. It's important to observe and learn from them while still implementing what you were previously taught. If the task being demonstrated poses a risk to patient safety, it should be discussed further with the preceptor or reported to the practicum coordinator. However, it's not appropriate to suggest that the preceptor's method is incorrect or escalate the situation to their supervisor immediately. Such actions could compromise effective communication, which is key to successful learning environments. Therefore, the best choice is to say nothing and continue to learn and observe.
