Ms. Ron is the Patient Care Manager of the mobile intensive care unit (MICU). She wants to make a change in the culture of the unit so that more experienced nurses take on the less expe-rienced nurses as mentees and not just preceptees
An effective first step for Ms. Ron to carry out with the staff before making this change is to: A. Conduct a Readiness to Change Assess-ment to identify how the staff feels on this issue. B. Announce that being a mentor is now part of the job description of any MICU nurse that has more than 5 years' experience. C. Meet with all of the experienced nurses and tell them the unit cannot survive without each one of them being responsi-ble for a less experienced nurse. D. Discuss with the Staffing Supervisor if there are any extra MICU nurses that can be scheduled so only experienced nurses who volunteer will have to be mentors.
