Among other things, such as willingness to serve in this role, you consider should consider other things and eliminate which nurse from the possible preceptor role?
  1. The expert nurse
  2. A nurse with only 3 years in your agency
  3. A nurse that does not have a BSN degree
  4. A nurse that does not have a MSN degree
Explanation
Answer: A - Among other things, such as willingness to serve in this role, you consider should consider other things and eliminate an expert nurse from the possible role as a preceptor. This may seem counterintuitive, however, research and Benner’s Novice to Expert model supports the fact that expert nurses are not appropriate candidates to teach inexperienced new graduate nurses who are minimally competent.
