Chapter 01: Role Transitions
Zerwekh: Nursing Today: Transition and Trends, 10th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A graduate nurse has been hired as a nurse at a local hospital. The new nurse is in the
honeymoon phase of role transition when making which of the following statements?
a. “I am so nervous about being on my own as a nurse.”
b. “This will be a great learning experience.”
c. “I can’t wait to have a steady paycheck.”
d. “This job is perfect. I can finally do things my own way.”
ANS: D
The honeymoon phase is when the student nurse sees the world of nursing as quite rosy.
Often, the new graduate is fascinated with the thrill of arriving in the profession. Reality
shock occurs when one moves into the workforce after several years of educational
preparation. Recovery and resolution occur when the graduate nurse is able to laugh at
encountered situations. During this time, tension decreases, perception increases, and the
nurse is able to grow as a person.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application/Applying
OBJ: Identify the characteristics of transition shock. TOP: Reality shock
MSC: NCLEX®: Safe and effective care environment
2. Which of the following actions by the graduate nurse is an inappropriate methodology to
recover from transition shock?
a. Networking
b. Obtaining a mentor
c. Returning to school
d. Joining a support group
ANS: C
The transition period is successfully managed when the graduate is able to evaluate the work
situation objectively and effectively predict the actions and reactions of other staff. Nurturing
the ability to see the humor in a situation may be a first step. Returning to school is a positive
step after the graduate has worked through role transition, has some clinical experience, and is
ready to focus on a new career objective. Networking, obtaining a mentor, and joining a
support group would give the graduate nurse an opportunity to talk to others experiencing the
stress associated with reality shock. The nurse would benefit from “talking through” issues
and learning how to cope.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application/Applying
OBJ: Describe methods to promote a successful transition. TOP: Transition shock
MSC: NCLEX®: Safe and effective care environment—not applicable
3. A new nurse who has been off orientation for 4 months now is trying to avoid burnout. Which
of the following actions is a valid way to achieve this?
a. Refusing to constantly work extra shifts
b. Withdrawing from peer support group
c. “Going native”
