Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Sometimes you take a job that is not right for you. Sometimes you need to allow more time to
adjust and learn the job. Discussing the matter with the director will allow the nurse to assess
his progress, and obtain feedback and assistance in how to manage the stress of the job.
Discussing the matter with coworkers may provide information regarding the managers
ability to manage the unit but the manager may obtain biased information.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Nursing jobs are plentiful; this is where self-assessment is essential. You want to be certain
you are ready to leave your current job and that you have learned and accomplished what you
came to do.
