Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. A focus on general performance does not cover all aspects of the nurses job description.
Personality traits and the ability to manage stress are individual characteristics and may be
positive or negative components of the employees appraisal. Input from peers may be helpful
but it is ultimately the evaluators assessment that is important.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. The appraisal is not incomplete. It may be unfair or unjustified but the majority of the appraisal
is focused on the nurses personality, which makes the appraisal not valid. The appraisal
should have a broader focus than traits and personal characteristics.
