A nursing student is in the mentoring process. Which action would occur if the student nurse were in the "follow" phase?
a. The nursing student observes as the men-tor places a urinary catheter.
b. The nursing student places a urinary ca-theter while the mentor stands nearby for guidance.
c. The nursing student reads the hospital policy regarding urinary catheter place-ment.
d. The nursing student places the urinary ca-theter without guidance from the mentor.
B
In the "follow" phase, the student nurse and the mentor walk side by side down the same path, and the mentor assumes a more passive role. Therefore, the student would place the urinary ca-theter, with the mentor nearby for guidance. In the "lead" phase, the student would observe the mentor; in the "get out of the way" phase, the student nurse would place the urinary catheter without guidance. Reading the hospital policy on urinary catheterization does not indicate a phase of the mentoring process.
