A group of nurses are planning to go on a retreat. Which phrase best describes the experience that the nurses will have on the retreat?
A) A respite from routine responsibilities and distractions
B) A "get-away-from-it-all" trip to a monastery or private resort
C) A time for spiritual reunions shared by members of a religious faith
D) A structured, group meeting devoted to psychological re-evaluation
A
Feedback:
A retreat is a withdrawal from normal activities. It allows body, mind, and spirit to be refreshed, but it need not be a trip to another location or a meeting with like-minded individuals of a religious faith. It is also not a structured group meeting devoted to psychological re-evaluation. An afternoon of privacy, solitude, and relaxation can be a retreat.
