shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. “aGboirbi.ncogmn/taestit ve” is the term that
describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role-transition

burnout. The nurse should instead focus on his/her practice and seek out support from other
nurses.

d. “I will evaluate my progress every 7 weeks or more to allow time for growth.”
ANS: A
It is important for the student to start taking care of increasaebidrb.ncoumm/tebset rs of patients to help with
time management and work organization. The student should also be able to function without
close guidance from the nursing instructor. Although it is good for students to observe staff, a
student in the final semester should be able to perform taskabsirw b.cioth
m/mtesitnimal observation and
should instead focus on implementing care and time management. Waiting 7 weeks to
evaluate progress would not be helpful to the student. Although regular self-evaluation is an
important process, it is the actual experience of taking realistic patient assignments and
abirb.com/test
working typical shift hours that assists with successful role transition.
