Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Give feedback in private to preserve the staff member's dignity.If the staff member's performance 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 mistake 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.
