9. Place the following activities in order according to the performance appraisal process
_____ The nurse manager shares the results of the evaluation process with the nurse's immediate supervisor, per the organization's policies.
_____ The nurse manager includes specific ways for the nurse to achieve more success.
_____ The staff nurse creates a summary of goals that the nurse has achieved since the last evaluation.
_____ The nurse manager praises the nurse for successes that have occurred since the last evaluation.
Answer:
1. The staff nurse creates a summary of goals that the nurse has achieved since the last evaluation.
2. The nurse manager praises the nurse for successes that have occurred since the last evaluation.
3. The nurse manager includes specific ways for the nurse to achieve more success.
4. The nurse manager shares the results of the evaluation process with the nurse's immediate supervisor, per the organization's policies.
Rationale:
The two-way performance appraisal process includes planning by the nurse manager (supervisor) and by the nurse who is being evaluated. It is important for the nurse to write down the goals that have been achieved and future goals. During the interview, the nurse manager should begin with praising the employee and later include suggestions for improvement. Following the evaluation, the nurse manager should share information about the evaluations with the nurse's immediate supervisor. This step should be included in the organizational policy because data that are not shared cannot be used to improve processes.
