The preceptor for a new nursing graduate determines that the nurse is most able to practice with caring and compassion when demonstrating which behaviors?
a. Describes methods used to decrease stress after working
b. Makes inappropriate jokes in the lounge to relieve stress
c. Routinely skips breaks to care for patients' special needs
d. Understands that asking for a different assignment may be necessary
A
Fostering caring through compassion begins with teaching self-assessment; self-care; and reflective practices of inquiry, self-evaluation, and stress management techniques. When the nurse cares for him- or herself adequately, he or she will have the personal resources to practice caregiving with empathy and compassion. Inappropriate jokes do not demonstrate adequate stress reduction methods. Skipping breaks does not allow the nurse to care for him- or herself. Understanding that asking for a different assignment may be necessary is important, but this is not the best option.
