Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Orienting the preceptor to the role can help improve their skills and confidence in effectively teaching and guiding new staff. This may address any concerns the nurse has about new staff being assigned to the preceptor.

Answer: B 
 Using simulation can also help the preceptor develop their teaching skills and decision-making abilities. This may address the nurse's concerns by showing that the preceptor is capable of effectively training new staff.

Answer: D 
 Reducing the transition program to 2 months may not address the nurse's concerns and could potentially lead to inadequate training for new staff. Therefore, this is not the best choice to change the nurse's decision.

Answer: None 
 Option C, reviewing the concepts of Six Sigma, is not directly relevant to addressing the nurse's concerns about assigning new staff to the preceptor. It is focused on improving quality and efficiency in a process, which is not directly related to the nurse's concerns about the preceptor's abilities.
