Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. The nurse uses power most appropriately to help with client goal achievement. If the client
gets out of bed, it is possible to avoid some complications. The others may be using power, but
are more behavior, process, and information related.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: The evaluator must have direct knowledge of the employee's work. The supervisor must find people who have that knowledge who are qualified to evaluate the work, whether the current evaluations are finished or new ones are started.
Rationale 2: Evaluations must be shared with the employee. If these evaluations were not finished, it is likely they were not shared.
Rationale 3: No legal steps are necessary to invalidate these in-process evaluations.
Rationale 4: Without a valid evaluation process, the care on the unit has not been assessed.
Rationale 5: Employees should be evaluated at least once a year.
