identification are acceptable forms of identification. (They must be in English, valid, and not
expired with a photograph and a signature.) A credit or debit card and school or university
identification (even though they have photos) are not acceptable forms of identification at
the testing centers.
Which statement indicates the nurse's understanding of effective time management?
a.
"The purpose of effective time management is to save hours, minutes, and seconds."
b.
"The purpose of effective time management is to do as much as possible in as short a time
as possible."
c.
"The purpose of effective time management is to do as little as possible."
d.
"The purpose of effective time management is to achieve personal and professional goals."
ANS: D
Making time to meet your individual, family, professional, and career needs and goals is vital
to overall success and is the primary purpose of time management. Stating the purpose of
effective time management as saving time or doing as much or as little as possible in a short
time would not indicate the nurse's understanding. Procrastinating and doing as little as
possible are not characteristic of effective time management.
How can the student nurse increase studying efficiency?
a.
Maintaining a supply of simple carbohydrates for a quick energy spurt
b.
Alternating mental and physical activities to increase productivity
c.
Working nonstop without breaks to focus concentration
d.
Delegating tasks of household chores to family members
ANS: B
Alternating tasks that are mental with tasks that are physical can increase alertness and
create a natural energy spurt to keep going. Carbohydrate-induced energy spurts are short
lived and ineffective for studying efficiency. Working nonstop without breaks leads to
fatigue and burnout. Although delegating tasks would be helpful to the student nurse, it
does not directly increase studying efficiency.
What actions should a graduate nurse take in the first work experience to avoid problems
with burnout?
a.
, 4
NCLEX RN NEXT GENERATION EXAM
Cross-train to work in different areas of the hospital.
b.
Develop a social group of nurses with whom to share work experiences.
c.
Plan on several sessions with a counselor regarding managing stress.
d.
Develop social contacts outside of nursing and maintain good nutrition and good sleep
habits.
ANS: D
Taking care of oneself is a primary component to preventing burnout—for example,
avoiding alcohol, maintaining good nutrition, getting adequate amounts of sleep, and
avoiding cigarette smoking. Developing social contacts outside the work environment also
facilitates reduction of stress from work. Cross-training in different areas of the hospital,
developing a social group with nurses to share work experiences, and meeting with a
counselor would not be helpful to the graduate nurse in avoiding problems with burnout in
the first work experience.
A nurse has been out of school about 6 months. Which of the following would indicate that
the nurse is having problems with burnout?
a.
Having chronic fatigue, increased irritability, and feelings of helplessness
b.
Feels angry regarding the type of care being delivered and scheduling of staff coverage
c.
Signs up for extra courses for an advanced degree and works double shifts for extra money
d.
Is disorganized regarding patient care and has to stay late to finish shift work
ANS: A
Fatigue, irritability, and feelings of helplessness are all early signs of burnout. Anger
regarding care may be very appropriate; how the anger is directed is important.
Overscheduling oneself is something that may promote early burnout, as are disorganization
and poor time management.
A nurse is considering pursuing additional education in nursing and hopes to be promoted to
a management position. What action should the nurse take to best achieve this?
a.
Wait until "the time is right" and inquire about program and promotion opportunities.
b.
Be the best nurse possible and hope a scholarship or promotion will be awarded.
c.
Set long-range, mid-range, and short-range goals with specific related activities and time
