MULTIPLE CHOICE ;l




1. A graduate nurse has been hired as a nurse at a local hospital. The new nurse is in the
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


;l honeymoon phase of role transition when making which of the following statements?
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


a. ―I am so nervous about being on my own as a nurse.‖
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


b. ―This will be a great learning experience.‖ ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


c. ―I can‘t wait to have a steady paycheck.‖
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


d. ―This job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.‖
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l




ANS: ; l D
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy.
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


shock occurs when one moves into the workforce after several years of educational
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


preparation. Recovery and resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


encountered situations. During this time, tension decreases, perception increases, and the
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


nurse is able to grow as a person.

2. Which of the following actions by the graduate nurse is an inappropriate methodology to
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


;l recover from reality shock? ;l ;l ;l


a. Networking
b. Obtaining a mentor ;l ;l


c. Returning to school ;l ;l


d. Joining a support group ;l ;l ;l




ANS: ; l C
The transition period is successfully managed when the graduate is able to evaluate the work
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


situation objectively and predict effectively the actions and reactions of other staff.
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


Nurturing the ability to see humor in a situation may be a first step. Returning to school is a
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


positive step after the graduate has worked through role transition, has some clinical
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


experience, and is ready to focus on a new career objective. Networking, obtaining a mentor,
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


and joining a support group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


experiencing the stress associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from ―talking
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


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
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


this?
;l


a. Refusing to constantly work extra shifts ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


b. Withdrawing from peer support group ;l ;l ;l ;l

, c. ―Going native‖ ;l


d. Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l

ANS: ; l A
One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to ―overwork the overtime.‖ Set priorities
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say ―no‖ to extra
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. ― aGb oi r bi .nc ogmn/ t ae st it ve‖ is the term that
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role-transition
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


experience by rejecting the values from nursing school and functioning more like a team
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


member at their place of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, ―going native,‖
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l
a bi rb .c o m /t es t ;l
and changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase th e c h a n c e o f the nurse experiencing
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


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


nurses.

;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


shock as it applies to nursing? ;l ;l
abirb.com/test
;l ;l ;l


a. ―Reality shock is the period when a person moves from school into the ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l

―Reality shock‖ is a term often used to describe the reaction experienced when one moves into
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


the workforce after several years of educational preparation. The new graduate is caught in the
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


situation of moving from a familiar, comfortable edu cat i o na bai lr be. cno vmi/ treosnt ment into a new role in
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l
;l
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


the workforce where the expectations are not clearly defined or may not even be realistic. The
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


realization that practice and nursing school are not the same is often associated with ―going
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


native.‖ When nurses move from one position to another, they have already experienced
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l


reality shock. Becoming an experienced nurse takes time aanb idr b .icso mn /ot et s pt art of the definition of
;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l ;l
;l
;l ;l ;l ;l


reality shock.

understanding of how to achieve this goal?
