Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: It is not ethical to share this dilemma with another staff nurse.
Rationale 2: An astute nurse manager can address this issue without involving the chief nursing officer.
Rationale 3: If the nurse manager just submits the appraisal as computed by the standard form, the opportunity to improve the nurse's practice is lost.
Rationale 4: In this situation, the nurse does not match the method of appraisal used by the facility. The nurse manager should go beyond the form and strive to help this nurse improve his or her practice.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. Incubation encourages new employees to offer suggestions about solutions to problems based
on their past experiences. Insight is the ability of the nurse manager to realize limitations to
innovative thinking and to develop strategies to foster creativity. Verification is a climate
produced by the nurse manager that recognizes the value of potentially useful ideas.
Preparation is a step of creativity that focuses mainly on planning.
