Extract:
Question 1 of 5
After months of heavy patient loads and staffing issues in the Emergency Department, a natural disaster brings in many seriously injured individuals. A staff nurse appears to neglect some injured patients and is rude to two older adults. Upon noting this behavior of the staff, which of the following should the nurse manager suspect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Burnout. The nurse manager should suspect burnout because the staff nurse's neglect of patients and rude behavior could be signs of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment - key components of burnout. Burnout can result from chronic workplace stress, such as heavy patient loads and staffing issues, compounded by the added stress of a natural disaster. Role ambiguity (
A) refers to uncertainty about job responsibilities, not exhibited in this scenario. Staff hardness (
B) is not a recognized term in the context of healthcare. Staff depression (
D) is possible, but the behavior described aligns more closely with burnout symptoms.
