Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse manager must have documentation of both good and bad performance to illustrate the necessary points of the evaluation. Although the other actions may be helpful, actual examples of specific performance provide better feedback.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Bringing a list of accomplishments from last year's appraisal may support a good appraisal this year. The other options are not beneficial to the process.
