Ans: B

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

Nurses need to cultivate realistic expectations from the job and from themselves.
