Rationale 1: The process of implementing merit raises is long and would probably not be feasible until the next budget cycle; lobbying for merit raises would not address this concern immediately.
Rationale 2: Calling the nurse aside and agreeing with the complaint does not address the concern, but rather validates the concern.
Rationale 3: The nurse manager may wish to report the episode in order to support the need for a merit system, but that action also does not address the immediate concern.
Rationale 4: All of these options are possible strategies for dealing with this complaint, but the best one is to emphasize the practice development aspects of evaluation.

decision making.
