Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Nurses directly affect their power image by maintaining expertise, working collaboratively,
getting to know influential people, and asking questions. Nurses must affect this image
personally, not through their clients or other disciplines. In addition, others in health care
should address nurses on the same level as they address us. Therefore, if Dr. Smith is Dr.
Smith, then Nurse Jones should be Nurse Jones around others.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: The goal of evaluators is to decrease leniency errors.
Rationale 2: The reason the manager doing evaluations reviews the critical incident file is to collect information to help the manager do the best evaluation appraisal possible. This helps to decrease the possibility of a lawsuit being filed against the manager for inaccurate evaluation.
Rationale 3: Reviewing the critical incident file prior to the evaluation will refresh the manager's memory of the employee's overall performance and will increase and improve manager-employee communication.
Rationale 4: Looking back at the employee's record for the evaluation period will help to decrease recency error.
Rationale 5: Reviewing the employee's records over the evaluation period will help the manager write a more accurate evaluation.
