Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Reducing physiological stress can occur by receiving adequate rest and work breaks, rotating
staff between two shifts, and never scheduling double back shifts (shifts in which the
employee has only 8 hours of rest between shifts).

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Conflict from family and professional roles, evening/night shift, and changes in family work
schedules add stress. Assistance from nursing staff should decrease the nurses level of stress
along with the assistance of a spouse.
