Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse assigned to a mental health hotline receives a call from a nurse who has been working on a Covid-19 unit. The caller states, 'I just don’t think I can be a nurse anymore.' Which of the following types of trauma should the nurse recognize this person is experiencing?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Secondary trauma. This type of trauma occurs when an individual is indirectly exposed to traumatic events through their work with those who have experienced trauma. In this case, the nurse working on the Covid-19 unit is likely experiencing emotional distress from witnessing the suffering of patients, leading to feelings of burnout or compassion fatigue. The other choices are incorrect because acute trauma refers to a single traumatic event, complex trauma involves exposure to multiple traumatic events over time, and chronic trauma pertains to ongoing exposure to trauma. Since the nurse on the hotline is not directly experiencing trauma but is affected by it through their work, secondary trauma is the most appropriate classification.
