John's performance was satisfactory during the first month, but after that time, he was found to be very inconsistent in the provision of nursing care.
 
  One month before the end of the rating period, he cared for a very wealthy and influential client, who is best friends with the clinical manager. This client donated new furniture for the staff lounge in John's name to show appreciation for his care. John's subsequent performance appraisal resulted in outstanding ratings in all areas. This is an example of:
 
  a. A performance rating based on justifiable evidence.
  b. A bias related to recent events.
  c. The impact of personality on the appraisal of performance.
  d. The effective use of a behaviorally anchored rating scale.

Question 2

The final section of a performance appraisal is a rating scale. This scale is very detailed and relates to competency standards specific to surgical clients.
 
  The scale is a summary of performance directly observed or documentation reviewed and is specific to client care situations in which the employee has been involved. This type of evaluation is most commonly known as:
 
  a. A traditional rating scale.
  b. Management by objectives/learning goals.
  c. A forced distribution scale.
  d. A behaviorally anchored rating scale.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
To gain and to provide an accurate evaluation of performance over time, anecdotal notes need to be maintained throughout the evaluation period. This process assists in avoiding bias related to recent or sensational events that make a particularly strong impression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
BARS contain both quantitative (rating scales) and qualitative data. They are specific to situations and positions.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
