1. "Why did you use the client's name on your clinical worksheet?"
2. "You were very careless to refer to your client by name on your clinical worksheet."
3. "Surely you didn't do this deliberately, but you breeched confidentiality by using names."

Rationale: The instructor's statement, "Surely you didn't do this deliberately, but you breeched confidentiality by using names," is an example of effective feedback. Feedback is method of communication for helping others consider a modification of behavior. Feedback should be descriptive, specific, and directed toward a behavior that the person has the capacity to modify and should impart information rather than offer advice.
