Answer to Question 1

C, E
Administrative performance appraisal involves the review, management, and regulation of competent psychiatric nursing practice in which actual performance is compared with role expectations in a formal way. Clinical performance appraisal is guidance provided through a mentoring relationship with a more experienced, skilled, and educated nurse.

Answer to Question 2

A, D
Research on ginkgo biloba does not support that statement. St. John's wort may have some efficacy in mild to moderate depression, but there are no evidence-based findings on its use as treatment for major depression. While the manufacture and selling of medications is managed by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), this is not true of herbals. Currently the guidelines are much less stringent.
