Explanation
Answer: A - Pat Benner’s “Novice to Expert” theory provides us with a framework for staff development programs.

Pat Benner’s levels of nursing expertise from the most basic to the most advanced are novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert. Malcolm Knowles developed the principles of adult learning (andragogy); Piaget describes cognitive development and Eric Erikson’s theory describes the stages of development throughout the life span.
