Question 1 of 30👑 VIP

A nursing professional development (NPD) specialist is designing an orientation program for newly hired medical-surgical nurses. During the initial needs assessment, the specialist surveys both the new hires and their prospective nurse managers. The new hires report high confidence in clinical skills but uncertainty about documentation systems, while managers rate the new hires' communication skills as 'inadequate.' Which step should the NPD specialist take FIRST based on these findings?
