The nurse in the workplace has little opportunity to receive positive feedback from peers or supervisors. What can be substituted?
a. A revisit from a former nursing instructor
b. Self-evaluation
c. Seeking compliments from the patient
d. An alcoholic beverage after work
ANS: B
Learning to objectively review and evaluate one's own performance, remembering to include positive outcomes, is an effective strategy for replacing the positive feedback one becomes accustomed to as a student nurse. A revisit from a former nursing instructor and seeking compliments from the patient are ineffective. Having an alcoholic beverage after work is counterproductive.
