Which statement(s) will help the nurse give feedback to a coworker? (Select all that apply.)
a. "Can you tell me what happened?"
b. "You did a great job positioning the post-operative patient.".

A, B, C
When giving feedback, the nurse should practice using the feedback formula. This includes ask-ing for the other person's input ("Can you tell me what happened?"), giving credit for accom-plishments ("You did a great job positioning the postoperative patient"), and asking for the oth-ers person's thoughts on resolutions ("What do you think can be done to ensure that the blood pressures are charted?"). The statements "I don't understand why you didn't do what I asked you to do " and "I only gave you one job to complete" would not be helpful in providing feedback to the coworker because they could cause the coworker to become defensive.
