  a. spitefulness.
  b. home conflicts.
  c. burnout.

  a. empathy for the patient.
  b. sympathy for the patient.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Lack of caring about patients, blaming patients for their illnesses, and negative self-views are danger signals of burnout. The scenario describes more than spitefulness; it is not suggestive of home conflicts; and it does not suggest detachment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The student nurse describes feelings of sympathy and overinvolvement. Empathy is a respectful, objective concern. Therapeutic involvement suggests overinvolvement, which is not therapeutic. The statements made in the scenario do not constitute burnout; however, sympathetic responses by nurses leave them vulnerable to burnout.
