As a nurse manager, you observe that one of your new nurses has delivered exceptional care to a patient’s family. What would be the MOST effective method to recognize the nurse’s performance?

Sending an email expressing gratitude to the nurse for their outstanding performance.

Commending the nurse’s conduct during their upcoming performance evaluation.

Shielding the nurse from potential embarrassment by expressing appreciation privately.

Approaching the nurse after they leave the patient’s room and conveying specific aspects of their care that were valued.
