Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Adults do bring their past experiences when learning but the first step in the educational
process for the adult learner is to determine the necessity of the education. Nursing students
are provided the education and theory to manage these types of clients, but they may lack the
hands-on experience to deal with suicidal clients. Adults may have preconceived notions
regarding the material, but this is not the first implication that must be considered, nor can it
be controlled by the staff development nurse.

Answer to Question 2

1,3
Rationale 1: Compassion fatigue is more likely to occur when the nurse is providing care to people who are traumatized. Emergency department nurses fall in this category.
Rationale 2: Outpatient nurses may be somewhat sheltered from caring for trauma patients, which is a major cause of compassion fatigue.
Rationale 3: Compassion fatigue is more likely to occur when the nurse is providing care to people who are traumatized. Trauma surgery nurses fall into this category.
Rationale 4: Nurses working in geriatrics are not at as great a risk for compassion fatigue as other nurses.
Rationale 5: Generally, the risk for compassion fatigue is not as high in nurses working in obstetrics.
