Answer 1

To create a positive environment can help implement the principle of non-maleficence as well as guaranteeing that bullying or diminishing does not take place. When important decisions are to be made they should be shared with everyone trying to make the information accessible to everyone equally.

Answer 2

Emphasizing the good qualities of the staff and giving positive direction for growth.

The principle of non-maleficence states that one should not do harm. Therefore the approach towards this while evaluating the performance of staff includes emphasizing the staff's good qualities and giving positive direction for growth. Fulfilling the commitment of promotion to a preceptor position within the unit is the principle of fidelity. Acknowledging the right of individuals to make decisions and to live by these decisions is respect for others. The principle of justice is used while deciding which staff members are to be promoted or recommended for development opportunities.
