Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Warning signs of burnout are loss of energy and enthusiasm, fatigue, insomnia, and alcohol and drug use. Increasing burnout leads to more severe symptoms: physical illness or exhaustion, withdrawal, mood changes, depression, hopelessness, and increased use of alcohol and drugs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Nurses need to cultivate realistic expectations from the job and from themselves. To stay healthy and happy, nurses should refuse to accept responsibility for others' problems; manage client care according to priorities; keep priorities for family, friends, and personal goals in order; search for creative ways to express excellence at work; and never stop learning.
