Answer to Question 2

1
Moral distress in nursing occurs when the nurse is aware of the right and moral action to take in client situations but is unable to carry out the action because of external constraints. This form of distress can lead to feelings of anger, guilt, and frustration. The nurse is not experiencing burnout though burnout could occur if moral distress continues. The nurse is not experiencing signs of a chronic or acute illness.
