A registered nurse requests that a nursing assistant give a patient a bath in the morning because the patient is going to surgery.
 
  As the nurse prepares the patient for surgery, the nurse notes that the patient has not received the bath, and it is too late to give one because surgery is calling for the patient. The nurse needs to give feedback to the nursing assistant. Where would be the most appropriate place for the nurse to provide the nursing assistant this feedback? a. In the hallway
  b. At the nurse's station
  c. In the patient's room
  d. In a private conference room

D
Give feedback in private to preserve the staff member's dignity. If the staff member's perfor-mance is not satisfactory, give constructive and appropriate feedback. Feedback given should be specific in regard to any mistakes that the staff members make, explaining how to avoid the mis-take or a better way to handle the situation. When giving feedback, make sure to focus on things that are changeable, choose only one issue at a time, and give specific details. The hallway, nurse's station, and patient's room are too public for effective constructive feedback.
