A Nurse Educator Is Working with a Group of Students

Multiple Choice

A nurse educator is working with a group of students who are in their first clinical rotation. They have had a particularly busy clinical day. All have felt rushed to complete medication administration as well as personal cares for their assigned clients. Charting has been completed and they are ready to leave the clinical area for the day. A client on the unit needs medication delivered by a Z-track injection and the Clinical Nurse asks the nurse educator if one of the students would like to perform this. The nurse educator, understanding the important concepts surrounding timing and environment in a learning experience, makes this comment to the Clinical Nurse:

A) "It will take me a moment to explain the procedure to the students since we've not practiced this, but I'll find somebody to administer it."
B) "We're leaving now, but thanks for asking."
C) "Would it be okay if the students observed today? Then, we'll do it next time we're here."
D) "I'll check with the students and see if one of them would like to volunteer."
