3. A nurse is trying to avoid burnout. Which of the following actions is a valid way to achieve this?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

c. “Going native” v




d. Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months . v v v v v v v




ANSWER: A v




One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to “overwork the overtime.” Set priorities with
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say “no” to extra shifts is a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. “Going native” is the term that . describes how
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role-transition experience by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




rejecting the values from nursing school and functioning more like a team member at their place
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, “going native,” . and changing jobs
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of the nurse experiencing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




vnurses.
