gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




ANS: D
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


rosy. Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


profession. Reality shock occurs when one moves into the workforce after several
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


years of educational preparation. Recovery and resolution occur when the gradaubai rtbe. cno mu

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

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




ANS: g g A
One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to ―overwork the overtime.‖ Set
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


priorities with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


to say ―no‖ to extra shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout.

d. ―Reality shock is a transition phase that new graduates go through

before changing jobs.‖

ANS: A
―Reality shock‖ is a term often used to describe the reaction experienced when one
