Correct Answer: 1, 4, 3, 2
Role conflict occurs when competing demands are placed on the nurse who is trying to fulfill multiple roles. The primary consequence of role conflict is role stress. A second cause of role conflict is different views concerning what nursing is and should be. Role value orientations vary considerably among practitioners; some nurses have a more traditional view of the nurse's role than new managers or new professionalsA third cause of conflict is a discrepancy between the nursing and medical views of what the nurse's role should be. A fourth source of conflict is the public image of nursing. Personal expectations and self-image may conflict with perceived public expectations.
