is in no condition to drive safely. Drinking coffee does not make a person less
intoxicated.

performance. The critical incidents type is a performance appraisal method in which
a manager keeps a written record of positive and negative performance. The graphic
rating scale form is a performance appraisal checklist on which a manager rates the
nurse's performance on a continuum such as excellent, good, average, and poor.
