The best approach is: "The vital signs were not taken.What happened?" When you give feedback,make sure to focus on things that are changeable,choose only one issue at a time,and give specific details.Feedback given should be specific regarding any mistakes that staff members make,explaining how to avoid the mistake or a better way to handle the situation.Saying,"How can I trust you?" and "You are a bad assistant." are both derogatory and they do not tell what specific task was not done.Where did you learn to take vital signs is not something that can be changed.
