shock occurs when one moṿes into the workforce after seṿeral years of educational
preparation. Recoṿery 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.

ANS: C
The transition period is successfully managed when the graduate is able to eṿaluate the work

the ability to see humor in a situation may be a first step. Returning to school is a positiṿe step
after the graduate has worked through role transition, has some clinical experience, and is
ready to focus on a new career objectiṿe. Networking, obtaining a mentor, and joining a
support group would giṿe the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others experiencing the
stress associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from “talking through” issues
and learning how to cope.
