Answer to Question 1

2, 3
Explanation: 1. Making choices and ranking your goals are effective to increase your power because all energy
is directed at those goals. Self-confidence also allows others to perceive the power. Focusing
on organizational goals and pursuing power positions do not necessarily increase your power.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: A statement that the nurse was rude is an opinion and should not be used in the critical incident form.
Rationale 2: Rudeness and incompetence are value statements and should not be used in critical incident forms.
Rationale 3: The facts of the incident are correct, but this statement makes no mention of why a critical incident form should be completed.
Rationale 4: The critical incident form must contain the event with accuracy and without judgment. Documentation should include the facts and the sequence of events.
