MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A graduate nurse has been hired as a nurse at a local hospital. The new nurse is in
the . honeymoon phase of role transition when making which of the following

d. ―This job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.‖


ANSWER: D .
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy.
Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality
shock occurs when one moves into the workforce after several years of educational
preparation. Recovery and resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at .
encountered situations. During this time, tension decreases, perception increases, and the
nurse is able to grow as a person.
