MULTIPLE |CHOICE

the |. |honeymoon |phase |of |role |transition |when |making |which |of |the |following
|
|statements? | a. |“I |am |so |nervous |about |being |on |my |own |as |a |nurse.”

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 |
.

| recover |from |reality |shock?
a. Networking .
b. Obtaining |a |mentor
c. Returning |to |school
d. Joining |a |support |group
.
ANSWER: |C
The |transition |period |is |successfully |managed |when |the |graduate |is |able |to |evaluate |the
|work | situation |objectively |and |predict |effectively |the |actions |and |reactions |of |other |staff.
Nurturing
the |ability |to |see |humor |in |a |situation |may |be |a |first |step. |Returning |to |school |is |a |positive
|step |. |after |the |graduate |has |worked |through |role |transition, |has |some |clinical |experience,
|and |is |ready |to |focus |on |a |new |career |objective. |Networking, |obtaining |a |mentor, |and
|joining |a |support |group |would |give |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.

3. A |nurse |is |trying |to |avoid |burnout. |Which |of |the |following |actions |is |a |valid |way |to |achieve
this?
|
a. Refusing |to |constantly |work |extra |shifts .
b. Withdrawing |from |peer |support |group
c. “Going |native”
d. Changing |jobs |every |6 |to |12 |months |.
ANSWER: |A
One |of |the |quickest |ways |to |experience |burnout |is |to |“overwork |the |overtime.” |Set |priorities
|with |your |mental |and |physical |health |being |the |highest |priority. |Learning |to |say |“no” |to
|extra |shifts |is |a |positive |means |of |coping |of |avoiding |burnout. |“Going |native” |is |the |term
|that |. |describes |how |recent |graduates |begin |to |copy |and |identify |the |reality |of |their|role-
transition |experience |by |rejecting |the |values |from |nursing |school |and |functioning |more |like
|a |team |member |at |their |place |of |employment. |Withdrawing |from |peer |support |groups,
|“going |native,” |. |and |changing |jobs |every |6 |to |12 |months |would |increase |the |chance |of |the
|nurse |experiencing
burnout. |The |nurse |should |instead |focus |on |his/her |practice |and |seek |out |support |from
|other | nurses.
