Rationale 1: The appraisal is technically not incomplete, but it is insufficient.
Rationale 2: There is not enough information to judge the fairness of the appraisal.
Rationale 3: Because the majority of the appraisal focused on the nurse's personality, the appraisal is not valid. The focus of the appraisal should be how the nurse's actions affect the work of the unit.
Rationale 4: There is not enough information to judge whether the nurse's perception of the appraisal is justified.
