When giving feedback,the nurse should practice using the feedback formula.This includes asking for the other person's input ("Can you tell me what happened?"),giving credit for accomplishments ("You did a great job positioning the postoperative patient"),and asking for the other person's thoughts on resolutions ("What do you think can be done to ensure that the blood pressures are charted?").The statements "I don't understand why you didn't do what I asked you to do" and "I only gave you one job to complete" would not be helpful in providing feedback to the coworker because they could cause the coworker to become defensive.
