Review the scenario below and select the signs that show compassion fatigue.
Julia (preferred pronouns she, her) is a new graduate nurse with just under one
year of experience. She always wanted to work in the Emergency Department
(ED) but feels overwhelmed and unconfident. Additionally, she is experiencing
chronic fatigue and seems angry all the time. Julia dreads going to work and has
called in sick five times this month. She frequently fights with her spouse and is
having trouble getting pregnant. In fact, she has not had a menstrual period in three
months. Las night, Julia found an old bottle of narcotics from a back injury and
took two to help her sleep. Julia’s wife is very concerned and has suggested that
Julia take a leave of absence and see a counselor.
