A manager has conducted a nurse's evaluation, focusing a large portion of the appraisal on the nurse's personality. The nurse does not agree with the appraisal and contacts the human resources director.
 
  What is the soundest basis on which to dispute the appraisal? 1. The appraisal is incomplete.
  2. The appraisal is unfair.
  3. The appraisal is not valid.
  4. The nurse's perception of the appraisal is unjustified.

Question 2

A nurse manager is faced with the task of introducing an unpopular change to a staff that includes several nurses who have acted as rejecters to previous changes.
 
  The manager expects resistance but hopes to identify these rejecters early in the process. The manager should be particularly alert to which statements? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. I don't care what they say; I'm not giving care that way.
  2. I don't think this is going to work, but I'll probably come around to it sooner or later.
  3. I'm not crazy about this idea, but we do need to change how we are providing care.
  4. I bet I can make it very difficult for this change to occur.
  5. It won't be so bad. I like change.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: The appraisal is technically not incomplete, but it is insufficient.
Rationale 2: There is not enough information to judge the fairness of the appraisal.
Rationale 3: Because the majority of the appraisal focused on the nurse's personality, the appraisal is not valid. The focus of the appraisal should be how the nurse's actions affect the work of the unit.
Rationale 4: There is not enough information to judge whether the nurse's perception of the appraisal is justified.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1,4
Rationale 1: Rejecters often respond with active opposition.
Rationale 2: This statement is characteristic of an early or late majority resister.
Rationale 3: Acknowledging that change is necessary is characteristic of an early adopter.
Rationale 4: Making the change more difficult is a form of sabotage, which is characteristic of a rejecter.
Rationale 5: Innovators love change and thrive on it.
