A nurse manager looks through a file that contains information regarding critical incident reports filed within the past year. The manager reviews and utilizes this information to educate staff for what purpose? Select all that apply
1. To increase leniency error
2. To decrease lawsuits
3. To increase employee communication
4. To decrease recency error
5. To increase accuracy in evaluation
6. To decrease constructive criticism
2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Frequent documentation of employee behaviors will protect the manager from lawsuits, give
the manager more opportunity to communicate with employees, decrease recency error due to
documentation of behaviors, and increase the accuracy of the evaluation. Increasing leniency
and decreasing constructive criticism cause the staff to expect leniency in the future, increase
the potential for poor documentation, and not provide the opportunity for staff to learn from
their errors.
