Answer to Question 1

C
The 360-degree evaluation can be obtained by seeking input from approximately four sources: 1) a peer, 2) a physician, 3) a subordinate, and 4) a self-evaluation. Once all the input is obtained, the evaluating manager adds his or her input and merges the feedback to develop the final score.
