Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
People retain information better when they have the opportunity to use it soon after it is presented.Therefore,the nurse manager should schedule teaching sessions 1 week before implementation of the equipment.If classes are scheduled too early,the nurses might forget how to use the equipment before it is implemented.If the teaching is offered immediately prior to use with patients,there wouldn't be an adequate opportunity to practice skills and ask appropriate questions regarding use of the new device.
