Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Critical incidents are reports of employee behaviors that are out of the ordinary, in either a
positive or negative direction. Peer and group evaluations are performed by ones peers or a
group of managers to appraise an employees performance. The nurses file may contain past
critical incidents.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: The manager must be realistic about how much work can be done.
Rationale 2: If the project is too much for the manager to take on, the manager should say no. The manager must be aware of the consequences of declining the assignment.
Rationale 3: If the manager would like to take on the new project, it may be necessary to decrease another job responsibility. The manager should discuss this possibility with the supervisor.
Rationale 4: The manager should be aware of the consequences of overloading one's self. Accepting the assignment and continuing the current work pace may be dangerous to the manager and to others.
Rationale 5: Additional salary does not make additional time. If the nurse does not have sufficient time to commit to the project, additional salary will not be helpful.
