Nurses are interested in receiving constructive feedback generally from their manager and peers. But frequently, our most helpful feedback is actually a result of performing the:

B. Manager's evaluation test of patient satis-faction of care
C. Mirror test when we self-evaluate our work
D. Reflective test that generates patient feedback about their care
