Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Placing the evaluation in an envelope and allowing the nurse to review it during a shift is unprofessional and does not allow for dialogue between the nurse and the manager.
Rationale 2: Allowing a peer to review the manager's evaluation of another employee is unethical, unprofessional, and illegal.
Rationale 3: The manager should control the environment in which the appraisal meeting is conducted. The meeting should be private and the manager should allow at least 2030 minutes for the interview.
Rationale 4: The human resources manager may give the appraisal but this does not allow for dialogue and questioning between the manager and the staff nurse.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Given that the political process closely mirrors the nursing process, following it will enable the
nurse to obtain information about stakeholders and those who might assist in policy changes.
Talking about nurses needs with the outside community and/or the administrator will do little
to influence others. In addition, it is important to remember to follow the change of command
when attempting to influence policies in the organization.
