NAPLEX Question Help

The answers I selected (Idk if they're correct or not and/or if there's any other choice) in bold

A nurse participated in a webinar to learn how to program insulin pumps 9 months ago, but has never independently programmed one for her own patients. She is now being asked to program an insulin pump without assistance.
Which of the following types of human error may be present in this situation? (Select all that apply)

Answer Choices:

A. Skill-based error = Because she's never done it before.

  • This is is a 50/50 for me, like she doesnt have the skills to do it,

  • But also, because she doesnt have the skills to do the pump, there wont be a "skill error" that can happen to begin with

B. Knowledge-based error = I didnt pick this one initially, but when I asked chatgpt for help, it selected it and its explanation was that "She's relying on uncertain memory and general knowledge.." because its been more than 9 months ago and on a webinar

C. Rule-based error = She might recall a wrong step from the webinar

D. Disruption-based error = Not an error here to think about.
