Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Spencer and Adams describe a seven-stage model. The nurse's actions most closely exemplify Stage 6, searching for meaning. In this stage, the individual desires to help others who are experiencing a similar situation. In Stage 2, minimizing the impact, the person feels a need to go back to what was normal or comfortable in order to avoid the full effect of the changes taking place. In Stage 4, letting go of the past, the individual begins to focus on the change's benefits and to look forward to those benefits. Stage 7, integration, is the stage of completion. In this stage, the individual experiences satisfaction and self-confidence.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5

A variety of emotions and feelings are common when an individual is going through a transition. These feelings include anger, anxiety, confusion, and grief. Feeling knowledgeable will not occur until the individual has been functioning in the transitioned role for some time.
