Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Awareness of one's actions is a component of self-evaluation. Noticing a breach of sterile technique during performance of a clinical skill is an excellent example of self-evaluation. The other student forgot to use a bath blanket describes evaluation of one student by another. The staff nurse was abrupt with the resident describes evaluation of a staff nurse by another person. It was nice to be complimented by my instructor is a reflection of feelings associated with being complimented, not self-evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Identifying positive behaviors allows them to be reinforced, and identifying areas needing improvement fosters modification of the negative behaviors. Providing constructive criticism related to poor performance behaviors refers to only half of the purpose. Keeping unsuitable persons from achieving licensure is not the purpose, because early identification and change in negative behaviors foster ultimate success in the program. Helping learners develop the ability to listen to negative comments about performance is not a purpose of the clinical performance evaluation.
