Answer to Question 1

B
During the adjourning stage of the team process, the team is involved in termination. Team goals and
activities are met, leading to closure, evaluation, and outcome review. This may also lead to
reforming, when the need for improvement or further goal development is identified.

Answer to Question 2

A
The establishment of performance goals (short term) are an essential part of any performance
appraisal. They are especially important for new nurses as they provide opportunities for mentorship
and guidance from one's immediate supervisor for attainable goal setting. Some aspects of effective
goals setting: they are developed by the nurse and the nurse's manager, are clearly articulated, are
measurable, and are attainable. The goal of successfully completing an advance practice degree is not a
sound short-term or initial goal for a new nurse graduate. However, it can be a long-term goal. The
initial goals set by the new nurse and the nurse's manager should be short term and attainable within a
short period of time, such as become an active participant in a unit-based or hospital wide
committee..
