Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
Standards of performance include job descriptions, policies and procedures, and
professional standards of practice. A leader's personal experience base and the nurse's goals
may be relevant but neither is an objective measure for appraising the nurse's performance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Patient privacy can be difficult to ensure when communicating electronically. As a
result, nurse leaders must take measures to protect confidentiality. Electronic messages do not
always need be followed up with paper copies and it is unnecessary to cc superiors on all
communications. Smartphones are an effective communication tool, provided they are used in
an appropriate manner.
