Answer 1

For the performance appraisal interview compiles all the positive feedback and negative feedback of the person. The ideas that can be identified is taking feedback from the new graduate's staff regarding the behavior of Jackie regarding the negative information given by julie. This data can help to understand the correct information and plan the implementation if the news is true. Plan to ask Jackie the result for doing this.

Rationale: during the appraisal interview there is a need for both positive and negative feedback from others. As a nurse manager, the appraisal cannot rely on some third person thought. In this situation, the information is given by the third person which cannot be relied on lt. So for the proper information feedback should be taken from the new graduates who claim to be victimized. The plan of implementation will help to give suggestions for improvement in the future.
