Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The nurse should not try to eat lunch while working. This will not help reduce feeling overwhelmed at work.
Rationale 2: Getting adequate sleep and rest is one way to reduce feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Getting up earlier may cause enhanced feelings of stress because of fatigue.
Rationale 3: The nurse needs time to relax through spending time with family and in other activities.
Rationale 4: This nurse should differentiate between what is essential care at work and what is nice to do but can be eliminated on days when stress is high and resources are limited.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: With mild anxiety, the student's perception and learning will be enhanced.
Rationale 2: Focusing only on studying for the examination would indicate a moderate anxiety level.
Rationale 3: Severe anxiety is the level at which the examination would consume all of the student's energy.
Rationale 4: Panic is the state in which the student might lose control of emotions regarding the examination.
