Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Burnout is an emotional state characterized by exhaustion, a diminished sense of personal accomplishment, and cynicism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Passive-aggressive behavior undermines the effectiveness of other nurses' work. An example of passive-aggressive behavior is when a nurse resists requests for adequate daily performance but expresses this resistance indirectly, hence the description as passive. Such resistance might take the form of procrastination, calling in sick, dawdling, intentional inefficiency, or forgetfulness.
