What is the most supportive way to assist a new nurse with monitor operation?

  1. Provide the operational manual for the monitor

  2. Assist her with the operation of the monitor

  3. Set up the monitor for her

  4. Answer her questions as she sets up the monitor

The correct answer is: Answer her questions as she sets up the monitor

Providing support to a new nurse in learning to operate a monitor is best achieved through active engagement and fostering a learning environment. By answering her questions as she sets up the monitor, you not only empower her to find solutions and troubleshoot issues independently, but also enhance her confidence in using the equipment. This approach encourages critical thinking and facilitates a better understanding of the monitor's functions and capabilities. Engaging with her as she works through the setup allows for immediate clarification of concepts and answers to any specific concerns she may have, reinforcing her learning experience. Additionally, this method helps to establish a supportive mentorship relationship, which can be beneficial as she navigates her new role.
