Final Answer : B, Explanation :  It is important to consider timing and the level of skill development of the students when introducing new procedures. Since the students have not yet practiced Z-track injections, it may be best for them to observe it first before attempting the procedure. By choosing option B, the nurse educator can still provide a valuable learning experience without compromising patient safety.
