Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The nurse's attitude is important because of its effect on coworkers, which the manager can see or measure.
Rationale 2: Seeking learning experiences is something the manager can see or measure.
Rationale 3: Tardiness is something that can be measured.
Rationale 4: A performance appraisal must focus on an individual's job performance and not personal characteristics. Shy and quiet are personal characteristics. If the nurse has impaired communication skills because of being too shy and quiet, then that is related to job performance.
