Question
The new nurse is being oriented to the unit and is assigned an experienced nurse to work with during the orientation. What are positive modeling experiences for the new nurse? Select all that apply.
The nurse contacts the health care provider to clarify a new prescription for a medication dose. The nurse organizes the day by obtaining reports, completing assessments, charting the assessments, and administering 0900 medications starting at 0830. The experienced nurse tells the new nurse, "I do all my charting at the end of the shift. Point-of-care charting takes too much time away from my clients." The nurse enters the room to administer medications and interrupts the hospice intake nurse providing information to a terminally ill client and family. The nurse does not respond to the call light of the client who frequently requests medications for unrelieved pain.

Positive modeling experiences for the new nurse should demonstrate effective communication, prioritization, patient-centered care, and adherence to best practices. Based on the scenarios provided, here are the positive modeling experiences:
1. **The nurse contacts the health care provider to clarify a new prescription for a medication dose.** - This demonstrates effective communication, patient safety, and the importance of clarifying medication orders, which is a critical skill in nursing.
2. **The nurse organizes the day by obtaining reports, completing assessments, charting the assessments, and administering 0900 medications starting at 0830.** - This reflects good organizational skills, time management, and proactive patient care, which are essential traits for a successful nurse.
The following scenarios do not represent positive modeling experiences:
3. **The experienced nurse tells the new nurse, "I do all my charting at the end of the shift. Point-of-care charting takes too much time away from my clients."** - This is not a positive model, as it promotes a potentially unsafe practice (not documenting care in real-time) and undermines the value of accurate, timely documentation.
4. **The nurse enters the room to administer medications and interrupts the hospice intake nurse providing information to a terminally ill client and family.** - This is disrespectful and does not model effective teamwork or prioritizing patient and family needs, especially in a hospice setting.
5. **The nurse does not respond to the call light of the client who frequently requests medications for unrelieved pain.** - This reflects inadequate patient care and a failure to respond to the needs of a patient in distress, which is contrary to the values of nursing.
In summary, the first two scenarios represent positive modeling experiences, while the last three do not.
